BMA CQ Rescue has responded to a high number of callouts over a busy start to June, taking to the sky 15 times between Monday 1 June and Sunday 8 June.
The rescue helicopter completed flights to a wide range of locations including Clermont, Moranbah, the Whitsundays, Hamilton Island, Dysart, Bowen, Townsville, Palm Island and throughout the Isaac region. One of the 15 flights was a training mission.
Among the week’s missions was a call to Hamilton Island, where the crew stabilised a patient and began treatment for pneumonia. The patient was then flown to Mackay for further medical care.
BMA CQ Rescue also attended two separate incidents in Bowen. One involved a patient who required urgent care and transfer to Mackay, while the second was in response to a suspected snake bite.
The service plays a crucial role in responding to emergencies across Central and North Queensland. Each flight ensures people in remote and regional areas have access to urgent medical assistance when they need it most.
