Every Minute counts

Dr. Philipp Venetz

Seriously injured people benefit from rapid transport to hospital. That is why Dr Philipp Venetz fights against time during his rescue missions. "Helicopter rescues can be challenging: Wind, steep terrain and little space in the helicopter can challenge us," says the Medical Director of Air Zermatt. And yet it is fascinating what a crew consisting of pilots, paramedics and a physician achieve on their missions day after day. Behind every mission is an individual fate in which the crew sometimes goes to its limits.
