Air rescue crews from Žilina conducted three emergency helicopter flights in a single day on Friday to transport seriously injured children to Martin University Hospital. The rescue operations took place across northern Slovakia's Orava and Malá Fatra regions. One of the emergency calls involved a 14-year-old skier who was injured in a fall at the Vrátna-Paseky ski resort. The intensive day of operations highlighted the critical role of air rescue services in Slovakia's mountainous regions, where helicopter transport is often necessary to quickly reach patients in remote areas and transport them to specialized medical facilities.
