PUBLIC ORDER
In August, the GFS launched an 'Air Medical Officer' programme in an effort to enhance its emergency air medical service. Under the programme, volunteer doctors specialised in accident and emergency procedures are enlisted as auxiliary members and operate as part of the aircrew on rescue missions during weekends and public holidays, when the majority of recreational accidents occur. This programme aims to provide a higher level of medical care to the injured right on the spot and during transit to hospital. During the year, the doctors flew a total of 64 hours in 83 operations.
