International SOS is partnering with Airbus Helicopters on a new approach to providing emergency medical support (EMS) services called the LifeSaver program. Estonia recently became the first country to work with the two companies to improve response times as part of wider efforts to improve the Baltic state’s national healthcare system.

According to Airbus (Booth C2803), it created LifeSaver as a means to improve and modernize healthcare services worldwide, many of which have suffered from exceptional pressure from the Covid pandemic. Announcing the tie-up with International SOS on March 2, the aircraft manufacturer described the new approach as a means to “put people at its heart by being designed to deliver improved medical outcomes and save more lives.”
