Essex Air Ambulance
 People in Essex are very
generous is proved by the fact that they
supported a charity in which an aircraft
is appointed to fly for providing the
first medical service to any emergency
patient in Essex. The main aim of the
aircraft is to help those who are in need
of medical assistance before reaching any
hospital. The aircraft is called Essex Air
ambulance.
This air ambulance is introduced in 1998 for
the benefit of the people of Essex. Highly
qualified and talented team of doctors and all
the modern medical equipments are present in
the aircraft so that assistance can be given to
any patient within few minutes of report. Till
now the aircraft has completed 10,000 missions,
which is a great
achievement.
 If we see it from finance side
then 150,000 pounds are spend per month
for the maintenance of the aircraft. This
amount is cot given by any organization or
government but collected by some of the
generous and supportive people of Essex.
The aircraft used in the service is EC135
Eurocopter. It is very fast and has space
for patient along with one of the family
member. It has an ability to reach within
the remote areas of Essex. Unlike road
vehicles the helicopter doesn’t have to
face traffic jams and bad road conditions.
The good thing is that it is able to
provide all the necessary medical
facilities to a patient within few seconds
and saves the
life.
This is the best charity done by the people of
Essex. Many people support this
 cause by some or the other
ways. The community organizes many charity
events and fund raising events. With the
help of the money collected through these
events the community members maintain the
Essex Air ambulance. Anybody can donate
and help the community. We all should
learn the lesson of helping others from
the people of Essex. This is the best
example of charity and good
work.
The Lord Lieutenant of Essex,
Lord Braybrook launched the Essex Air
Ambulance Service on 1 July 1998, from
the grounds of New Hall School in
Chelmsford.
