Air Ambulance Service in Kushtia, Bangladesh
Kushtia, located in western Bangladesh, is a significant distance from Dhaka (over 240 km by road). Ground transport takes 6 to 8 hours across multiple highway bottlenecks, creating extreme risk for hemodynamically unstable patients. While Kushtia General Hospital provides local emergency stabilization, complex surgical, cardiac, and neurological cases require rapid transfer to Dhaka. Helicopter air ambulances bridge Kushtia to Dhaka in 45 to 55 minutes, providing continuous intensive care throughout the flight.
