Turkey coordinates air ambulance transfer of severely injured Kırklareli patient to Ankara
A 27‑year‑old patient suffered skull fractures and intracranial bleeding after an assault in Kırklareli. The patient was taken to Kırklareli Education and Research Hospital, where intensive‑care staff and the neurosurgery team performed emergency surgery. Post‑operative assessment by eye specialists identified a risk of permanent vision loss in one eye, prompting a decision to move the patient to a third‑level facility.
The transfer was organized by the Kırklareli Command and Control Center, which consulted multiple provincial hospitals before securing admission at Gazi University Hospital in Ankara. After being escorted by 112 emergency crews to Istanbul Atatürk Airport, the patient was placed on a Health Ministry air ambulance and flown to Ankara, where further treatment continued. The coordinated effort involved the Health Ministry’s Ankara Health Air Coordination Center and was praised by hospital officials and emergency personnel.
