I never gave this service much time in my head, that was until a close family member was involved in an accident in a remote location in the DR, where quality of medical service was going to be the difference between life and death. Lucky for her and all our nerves in the family, her husband had become a client of the service which covered the whole family (the parents and three kids). She was quickly evac from the site and landed right in the HOMS roof for fast medical attention, which needless to say was superb as well.

I became a client of the service and so did pretty much everybody that wasn't before in the extended line.
Reading up on the accident that took place in SD some days ago, where a Canadian national lost the life, I think that one can't take this service for granted in a small country like ours...

I've seen too many people arrive at hospitals that were supposed to be dead on the scene, being revived after quality medical attention there. Just because the heart stops for a few golden minutes, doesn't meant is ok to give up on loved ones...

Aeroambulancia is the first and only company in Dominican Republic, which offers the most complete and modern air ambulance service 24 hours a day, 7 days a week during the entire year.
When minutes count, it is very important to receive inmediate attention in a safe and trustworthy way. Aeroambulancia will be by your side offering the most qualified assistance for you and your family.
Our compromise is to provide excellent service and to be your best allie when a medical emergency comes up. We believe that the difference between life and death of a patient depends on how fast you receive assistance and are transported adequately to a level 1 trauma center, close by.
Rural areas of the Dominican Republic lack of optimum health centers to take care of patients with severe traumas caused by accidents or critical medical conditions; this is why Aeroambulancia offers quick access through the best medical attention possible.
Our membership program is based on an annual payment that allows members to access our services without any additional cost. This means, helicopter transportation, medical attention at the accident or emergency scene and on board until we get to the medical center, are all inclusive.
Aeroambulancia has a crew of equipped helicopters with everything that you need for intensive care and for the attention of the medical crew and medics that are highly qualified to manage health issues in critical conditions.

LOL, that story sounds like the punch line for every infomercial or sales pitch for medical services I've ever seen.

I'm not trying to poke at ya, seems like a good service to have

But how about a link to their website to go along with all your PR ;)

Well, you can pretty much do a google search for that and I was really posting about it for the services, since they're really cheap compared to what we pay in the US and Canada for the same services...

Looks like "MrPee" has a new client!
He didn't list their website,because then his "Advertisement" would be removed as "SPAM"!:disappoin:disappoin:disappoin
His "Family Story" sounds just like the way the "Copy Editor" wrote it!
Maybe he will get a "Pulitzer Prize" for "Literature",in the "Fiction" catagory!
Why do "Spamers" think anyone will actually believe their "Stories",and then go on to purchase what they are "SPAMING"???
Especially on DR1,we have a great track record of making "Sandwhiches" out of their "Spam-in-a-Can"!
"Nice Try" though!......."Mr.Pee"

okay okay, I'll do their copy editing for them for free:

The first comma changes the meaning of the sentence.

When minutes count, it is very important to receive inmediate attention

I want immediate attention, not inmediate attention.

in a safe and trustworthy way. Aeroambulancia will be by your side offering the most qualified assistance for you and your family.
Our compromise is to provide excellent service

Don't give me a compromise, give me a promise please!

and to be your best allie when a medical emergency comes up.

My friend Allie from orange county will be there? that's fine, but I want an ally, not an Allie, she's not a nurse.

Rural areas of the Dominican Republic lack of optimum health centers to take care of patients with severe traumas caused by accidents or critical medical conditions; this is why Aeroambulancia offers quick access through the best medical attention possible.

Porque 'of' optimum health centers? porque semicolon after 'conditions' and not just colon?
--

As for this service, something tells me that a subscription benefits them but doesn't benefit you. If you are in a rural accident and call their hotline, they will be more motivated to come if you're a "i'll pay you for flying me right now VAC me!" customer instead of a "I'm a monthly subscriber help me" customer.

GREAT POST "K"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I really did spit my morning "Cafe"!
I agree with the "Pay for Use" statement,especially here in the DR.
We got a "Service Contract" for 5 huge generators at the hospital where I worked in SD. with the company we had been paying "For Services Rendered",I think they disconnected their phone before the "ink was dry"!
"Trust In God",in all others beware.

PICHARDO -


Let me get this straight. You're claiming a Canadian recently died in SD that could have made a difference if they had an air ambulance service subscription?

Where/how did this Canadian die?

If I'm in a car accident in Santo Domingo, say on 27 Feb and Churchill, where exactly is the air ambulance going to land?
Will they be sending the jet or the helicopter to land on 27 Feb? What will AMET think of their landing procedure? Will there be enough power lines cleared for the helicopter (or plane) to land?

Moreover, am I not better off jumping into a taxi to go to Abel Gonzales a few blocks away?

The "Pobre Canadian" was riding in a "guagua" on "Las Americas".
The "guagua" stopped to make drop off,the CEMENT TRUCK coming behind,didn't!
She needed more than a "Life Flight"!
Those "Choppers" may be fast,but getting them called and into the air in the DR,is just a fantasy.
If you are sick/injured,but "stable" and need to get to a REAL hospital in Miami,I'd call them for their jet air ambulance,otherwise,PRAY!

They don't mean promise, they mean commitment...
They are translating the word: "Compromiso" = "compromise"... It should be commitment.

The Canadian in question died as a truck hit a parked bus that was being searched right after the tolls at Autopista 6 de Noviembre. The Police, Defensa civil and Army guards had to extract everyone from the bus that ended up down in the ravine to the side of the road. The Canadian woman died due to head trauma...


This is the location where it happened:

This is how it ended up:

[video=youtube;w__rQTpfnxE]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w__rQTpfnxE[/video]




Both the Canadian woman and the Dominican man were still ALIVE when pulled from the wreck, yet they died in the hospital as golden time was lost in transporting them, not to mention the medical attention they got there...


About my sister? She was involved in a car - truck accident in the road about 1 mile from Jumunuco (by Jarabacoa) when the truck's breaks gave away and impacted her SUV from the back. Her car ended up in a steep ravine where it also hit some trees as well. She was extracted by the locals with assistance from two military that were on their way to some big shot's home there. They saw the sticker on the SUV and called the air service, which arrived real fast and took her directly to the HOMS.

Had she spent time on the road via an ambulance or car being driven to the nearest (and who knows what medical care) hospital, her injuries would have meant death or severe brain damage at best.

This took place not so long ago and the people there recall it with ease, since they sent two helicopters to the site with the second the transport and the first with a trauma specialist to stabilize her condition as much as possible and to pass data to the HOMS emergency team via radio link. They landed on each side of the small road and blocked the traffic until they carried out their mission.

Had this lady been airlifted to quality care and the shortest amount of time, at worst she could be seeing some long time of recuperation but not dead...



Airvac is for remote locations, not for traffic in the middle of the city, where an ambulance can take you to the nearest hospital in minutes.

Now, if your condition requires that you get emergency treatment overseas, they will transport you there in the Jet as contracted.

Guess who got that service just recently form them?


Walter Mercado Transferred to U.S. Hospital for Pneumonia

Popular psychic and TV personality Walter Mercado has been transferred to an Ohio hospital, The Miami Herald reports. Mercado, 79,was admitted into a Puerto Rican hospital for “chest pains” and bronchitis last week, due to stress related to legal and business matters.Wilma Torres, the astrologer’s secretary, said that Mercado’s workload in December triggered the chest pains that landed him in the hospital. Legal issues,Torres stressed, have caused Mercado to have a “physical breakdown.”The Miami Herald says the flamboyant astrologer, who changed his name to Shanti Ananda after supposedly having a vision, was admitted into a Cleveland hospital for pneumonia.The medical institution focuses on treating cardiovascular-related illnesses.




This was the jet that took him from PR to OHIO (actual plane landed in PR to transport walter):

Still don't see how a helicopter ambulance would have helped here.

Gotta land it - how? where? on the highway?

Do the good hospitals in this country have a helipad on their roof?

I have no problem links being posted for this service, I have heard good things.

I have their coverage as part of my car insurance.
