LIGHT INTO EUROPE
DHL Air Ambulance Service
Light into Europe is a British charity founded in 1986 to provide medical
evacuation by air and humanitarian relief to Eastern and Central European countries then under communist oppression.
Romania’s extensive, national network of air-ambulances had been closed down in 1978 and our involvement began in 1990. The first air-ambulance flight to take place since 1978 enabled a five year old girl to receive emergency surgery at a cardiology clinic in Rotterdam.
In 1997, the Health Ministry invited Light into Europe to be the sole provider of air-ambulance services in Romania, with the Ministry contributing the fuel. Between 1997 and 2003, the Light into Europe Air-Ambulance service saved more than 900 lives, during 700 emergency flights and 4000 flying-hours.
Although air-ambulance services are not our primary focus in Romania at this time, we still provide services on a case-by-case basis. Since 2003, we have performed dozens of emergency flights and will continue to do so in the future.
We encourage you to learn more about our Air-Ambulance accomplishments and impact on human life by reading the stories below.
