Summary/Abstract: Locating and transporting the injured can be done in several ways and, certainly, the most common form is road transport. However, locating the injured person and transporting them would be easy if all the accidents happened on paved roads or in cities. Air accidents, accidents in nature, on water, and similar accidents are characterized by their inaccessibility. In response to such situations, a type of aviation developed known as intervention aviation. For this specific research, two questionnaires were composed which are correlated and have a common goal - to possibly justify the deployment of the emergency helicopter medical service and define the possible institutional organization, as well as the most consequential obstacles for its formation. Considering this is a multidisciplinary study, various methods were used for this research, but the basic method is to survey two groups of respondents. Two survey questionnaires were composed, one of which is intended for medical staff or staff directly or indirectly involved in the health system, while the other is intended for potential funders, users, institutions under which the service would operate, the academic and professional community.
