Swiss Air-Rescue (German: Schweizerische Rettungsflugwacht, French: Garde aƩrienne suisse de sauvetage, Italian: Guardia aerea svizzera di soccorso, Rega) is a private, non-profit air rescue service that provides emergency medical assistance in Switzerland and Liechtenstein. Rega was founded on 27 April 1952 by Rudolf Bucher, who believed that the Swiss rescue service needed a specialized air branch. Rega mainly assists in mountain rescues, but also operates in other terrains when necessary, especially in life-threatening emergencies. Rega also provides a repatriation and medical advice service for members who experience a medical emergency while abroad and local treatment is not available. More information...
