GAMAS       AVIATION

Medical Evacuations

 

In first world countries, like the United States, whenever an emergency strikes, all one has to do is pick up the phone and dial 911, and within minutes an ambulance is on the way.  But if you live in a jungle village in Guyana's interior, getting to the hospital is a little more tricky since there are few roads and no equipped and trained air-ambulance services.  

 

To make matters worse, most of the air operators flying around guyana are primarily business oriented, and many don't fly to the remotest villages, since there are few business opportunities there.

 

Even though GAMAS's sole mission is not the work of an air ambulance, we realize how critical our air transport services are, and when the urgent medevac calls come, we drop whatever we are doing and bend every effort to reach the sick, and get them to the hospital.  

 

One of the reasons that we are working toward strategically basing our aircraft and pilots around Guyana is to reduce the response time necessary to reach the sick and dying.  Hours and minutes could mean the difference between life and death, and every life matters.
