Air Rescue Service to Add Three More Planes to Thailand Fleet.
Byline: Nondhanada Intarakomalyasut
Jul. 26--An Australian tourist is recovering from a severe injuries caused by an accident while travelling to Cambodia and now enjoying first-class medical treatment in his home town, Perth.
Things could have been much worse if he had not been rescued by SOS International (Thailand) Ltd, a mobile intensive-care unit and medical assistance company.
"It would have been quite impossible for him to manage to get proper medical treatment, contact an airline and try to stay alive at the same time. Even if he could, it would have taken ages," said Sayan Panasuriyasombat, strategic alliance manager of SOS Services (Thailand) Ltd.
The privately owned, 24-hour global rescuer was established in 1974 and started its service in Thailand in 1990. It claims to be the world's largest medical assistance company with operations in 42 countries and 25 alarm centres.
Its job is providing initial medical care, stabilising the patient's condition, providing evacuation and repatriation both by land and air, through to arranging hospitals and doctors. It has contracts with over 160 hospitals in Thailand.
Each air rescue service costs between 100,000 and 200,000 baht if the patient is not an SOS member. To become a member, individual customers are charged US$108 per year while corporate clients pay less, depending on the number of staff.
