Rising Prevalence of Chronic Diseases Drives Europe Helicopter Emergency Medical Services Market
The growing occurrence of chronic diseases among the geriatric population, women of reproductive age, and children is driving the demand for proper healthcare facilities that consist of helicopter emergency medical services for transportation to hospitals or immediate medical support. Care centers and rehabilitation centers are offering chronic disease management services. In chronic care management services, patients can select premium facilities such as helicopter ambulance services to reduce travel time to hospitals. In addition, with the help of emergency helicopter medical services, patients also get immediate medical support, which increases the chances of lifesaving. Helicopters used for medical services are sometimes equipped with basic to advanced medical support systems or devices, and they bring doctors or caregivers to the patient who needs immediate attention.
As per the survey conducted by the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation, the global diabetes prevalence rate was ~6.1% in 2023, making diabetes one of the major causes of disability and death. Approximately 17.9 million people deceased from cardiovascular diseases in 2019, representing ~32% of all global mortalities. Out of these deaths, ~85% were due to stroke or heart attack, as per the study presented by the World Health Organization. There has been a growth in heart attack casualties over the past few years. Thus, the increase in cases of chronic diseases, specifically in the aged population, is anticipated to boost the demand for emergency helicopter medical services at the global level.
Customers residing in remote locations, where hospitals and care centers are not nearby, adopt emergency helicopter medical services for transportation and immediate medical aid. Thus, the growing prevalence of chronic diseases worldwide is a major driver for the helicopter emergency medical services market.
