China's first aviation rescue training base was launched in Anyang City of Henan Province on July 16. It will train 100 pilots, including 50 men and 50 women. Besides, it plans to create a total 850 international standard aviation emergency rescue bases across China.
"When the Emergency Relief Promotion Center of the Ministry of Civil Affairs was established in 2005, it didn't have the concept of aviation emergency rescue until 27 academicians put forward the idea of establishing a national aviation emergency rescue system in 2009.
Chen lauded the establishment of the base as a milestone in the setup of China's aviation emergency rescue system. Chen added that in the United States, wounded personnel can receive treatment within 10 to 20 minutes. According to the air medical ratio of the United States, China needs another 4700 aviation rescue aircrafts. |
