Svensk Luftambulans

Svensk Luftambulans (SLA) is a Swedish organisation providing advanced prehospital emergency care and intensive care by ambulance helicopters. The company operates air ambulance services mainly in four regions of Sweden: Värmland, Dalarna, Västerbotten, and Norrbotten. It transports patients from the scene of injury or illness to appropriate healthcare facilities, as well as conducts intensive care transfers between hospitals.

The company's mission is to provide intensive care on site and during transport. SLA's helicopter operations include routes from accident sites or patients' locations to the right level of hospital care. They also perform intensive care transfers between specialist hospitals.

Svensk Luftambulans has aircraft bases in Karlstad (Karlstad Airport), Mora, Lycksele, and Gällivare. These bases enable them to cover a large geographic area in central and northern Sweden. The helicopters are equipped to deliver advanced medical treatment en route.

The company supports a medical department that handles research, education, and medical development. Their educational activities include advanced medical team training to maintain and improve skills. They also participate in pilot training, testing new GPS-based approach methods to enable safer and possibly lower altitude landings near the central hospital in Karlstad.

Svensk Luftambulans works under political leadership from a board called Direktionen. The organisation collaborates closely with the four regional health authorities mentioned. Postal correspondence is handled via Region Värmland in Karlstad. The organisation number is 222000-3061.

All services focus on ensuring rapid, intensive care delivery from the scene of injury or illness until patients are delivered to suitable hospital care. The company has been active for many years and is featured in current news about developments in air ambulance services, including new flight methods and participation in emergency healthcare conferences.

The company website shows regular news updates, contact information, and detailed descriptions of their operational bases and regions served. Public users can access information about jobs, governance, and medical research there.
