Priority Air Ambulance unveiled our proposed new capabilities for an air ambulance service that is new to Uganda at the Emergency Care Conference held in Jinja, Uganda, during the weekend of 2-4 August 2019.
The Bell 412 helicopter that will be used as part of the fleet of 3 aircraft for air ambulance operations out of Kajjansi, Uganda, was staged at this unique event in Jinja, with its pilot, team of ground support crew, technical crew and medical crew. Alongside the Bell helicopter were 2 ground ambulances and their crew from City Ambulance, with which Priority Air Ambulance has an affiliation with for ground ambulance transport. The Emergency Care Conference was the first of its kind in Uganda, and together with the first-of-its-kind in air ambulance operations in Uganda, provided a real sensation to the passionate providers practising emergency care in countries around East Africa.
We are presently in the process of registering as an NGO and teamed up with Kampala Executive Aviation – KEA who will provide the air assets and Air Operator Certificate for this type of operation.
The air ambulance flight missions will have dedicated flight medical crew onboard every flight mission, together with state-of-the-art medical equipment in the patient compartment.
