This afternoon the Trustpower TECT Rescue Helicopter was dispatched to the Te Kaha medical centre where a 44 year old Cape Runaway man had presented with a potentally serious medical condition.
He was stabilised at the clinic before being airlifted to Whakatane for further treatment, his condition was stable.
The helicopter was used because of the distance to hospital and the potential seriousness of the patients condition.
