New emergency medical helicopter location in Frauenkirchen: Better care for everyone

The emergency medical helicopter location in Frauenkirchen, Neusiedl am See district, is taking shape. As State Governor Hans Peter Doskozil (SPÖ) announced on Thursday, the construction of the new location is on schedule and the opening is expected this year.

The site will house the famous Christophorus 18, an emergency medical helicopter used for medical emergencies. The personnel required for this, who currently work for the ÖAMTC air rescue service in Wiener Neustadt, are expected to be relocated to Frauenkirchen at the beginning of next year. This will allow the region to better respond to medical emergencies.

Details about the new base

A total of nine pilots, four air rescuers and 17 emergency doctors will be available at the new “Nord” helicopter base in Frauenkirchen to provide quick help. This increase in personnel is an important step in optimizing regional medical emergency care.

The opening of this location ensures that the entire region is well covered. In addition, the emergency doctor helicopter from Oberwart and another location in Wiener Neustadt are already available. These two additional locations enable operations in southern Burgenland and central Burgenland. Thanks to this infrastructure, comprehensive medical support will be guaranteed, improving the rapid availability of emergency physicians in different parts of the country.

The creation of the new hub in Frauenkirchen is not only a step towards optimizing medical care, but also a signal for the initiative to sustainably strengthen emergency rescue in the region. The opening of the site is therefore viewed as a significant advance in the field of air rescue. More information about this can be found in a recent article on courier.at to find.
