Since better healthcare has been a topic recently, it's interesting to know everything that is going on to improve certain aspects of the medical world. As mentioned in another post, emergency room waiting times can last insanely long and there is now a new effort to cut the times down drastically.

The same will be happening with emergency services outside of the hospital. In addition to have ambulances on the road, there is now a new air ambulance service. AeroCare's airline medivac transport service offers 24 hour emergency and non-emergency ambulance services throughout the world. Flying of course will cut down on a lot of time if you or your loved ones live out in the country or far from a hospital. Many insurance plans cover air ambulance services now, if another form of transportation would be considered life threatening. If you don't think your insurance will cover something like this, AeroCare has teamed up with the Travel Assist Network to offer their own insurance via The Air Rescue Card.

Airline medivac transport services are useful to have and to know about on an international scope, because they can provide international evacuation services. I'm sure you can think of cases in which that would be necessary. When roads are flooded or storms hit and an ambulance on the road may not be the most effective way to help people than AeroCare steps in and takes over.

I think any steps that can be taken to provide more efficient services to people in need is a wonderful thing.
