Healthcare Takes Flight! Desun Hospital Introduces Kolkata’s First Rooftop Helipad

In a significant advancement for Kolkata's healthcare infrastructure, Desun Hospital has inaugurated a rooftop helipad to bolster emergency medical services. This facility enables rapid air ambulance operations, ensuring critically ill patients receive timely medical attention. The helipad is equipped to accommodate heavy air ambulances, including models like Airbus 135, Agusta 109, and Bell 429 helicopters, capable of covering distances over 700 kilometers. This development facilitates patient transfers from remote areas such as Malda, Siliguri, Midnapore, Ranchi, Agartala, and Guwahati, significantly reducing transport time and improving survival rates.
