Private hospital starts China’s 1st medevac program
China's first emergency evacuation helicopter goes into service at a private hospital in Changyuan county, Central China's Henan province, April 20, 2011.


The plane can carry five people and travel up to 700 kilometers in a single flight. It aims to facilitate prompt medical aid for patients who live in remote areas and to invite more experts from other provinces to help with diagnosis.

A manager at the hospital said the helicopter cost over 10 million yuan, and it plans to buy about 10 more in the next five years to form an "air-120 medical aid network" in Henan province. [Photo/CFP]
