With its rescue helicopters, Rega brings professional help from the air and state-of-the-art medicine directly to the patient. Thanks to 12 operational bases distributed throughout Switzerland and a partner base, we can also reach remote areas in just a few minutes by plane. Most often, our rescue helicopters are called to work as a result of illness as well as in winter sports, traffic, work and mountain accidents. Transfer flights from hospital to hospital are also an integral part of the range of operations. Almost a quarter of all Rega helicopter missions take place at night - a demanding task for our crews.
