Ireland plans a new helicopter emergency service for the North West, covering Sligo, Donegal, and Leitrim, to improve rural medical response.
A new Helicopter Emergency Medical Service (HEMS) is being planned for Ireland’s North West region, covering Sligo, Donegal, and Leitrim, with Sligo Airport among several sites under consideration.
The service aims to improve emergency medical response in rural areas by providing advanced pre-hospital care and hospital transfers, complementing existing Coast Guard and Air Corps operations.
Site selection is ongoing, with factors like population coverage, terrain, weather, and infrastructure guiding decisions.
The final location has not yet been determined, but officials emphasize equitable access as a priority.
