Defense sends 'flying ambulance' to Turkey

News item | 09-02-2023 | 2:45 pm

Defense deploys a C-130 Hercules transport aircraft with medical facilities to help earthquake victims in Turkey.

Minister of Defense Kajsa Ollongren reported this to the House today. The C-130 is deployed following a request from the Turkish government.

The C-130 can carry up to 70 wounded at a time.

The 'flying ambulance' of the Royal Netherlands Air Force will leave tomorrow and can be deployed the following day.

The cargo hold of the C-130 will be converted and can then transport a maximum of approximately 70 people per flight.

On board they receive care from medical specialists of the Center for Man and Aviation (CML).

The Turkish government wants to use this so-called tactical aeromedical evacuation capacity
to move injured people from the disaster area to other places in Turkey.
There they will receive much-needed medical care.

The CML provides two regular Aeromedical Evacuation Teams. Each consists of 1 doctor and 3 nurses.
Plus medical equipment to care for the injured. A medical officer also goes along to coordinate and direct the flights.
