Child’s life in danger, emergency flight from Bari to Rome

The urgent medical transport took place in the afternoon, from #Bari to Rome , carried out by a C-130J transport aircraft of the 46th Air Brigade of the Air Force, for a two-year-old girl in imminent danger of her #life. # This was announced by the Air Force

The clinical conditions of the little patient, hospitalized at the Giovanni XXIII hospital in #Bari, required an urgent transfer to the Bambino Gesù pediatric hospital in Rome . # The prefecture of #Bari then contacted the Aerospace Operations Command of Poggio Renatico, which activated one of the Air Force crews on alert for this type of intervention.

For the mission, the C-130J of the 46th Air Brigade, which departed from Pisa, embarked the ambulance, the child, the mother and the medical team directly in #Bari, allowing transport times to be drastically reduced. # After disembarking at Ciampino airport, which took place around 7.15pm, the ambulance headed towards the pediatric hospital in Rome , while the aircraft returned to the Pisa base to resume the 24-hour #emergency service. # (File photo)
