Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (K-P) has achieved a significant milestone in healthcare with the successful test flight of its inaugural air ambulance service. Utilizing an MI-17 helicopter, the provincial government has transformed the aircraft into a fully equipped air ambulance, complete with state-of-the-art medical facilities. This initiative marks a major step forward in enhancing emergency medical services across the region.
Health Advisor Ihtisham Ali, who was onboard during the test flight, expressed his satisfaction with the project’s progress.
