About us

The Norwegian Air Ambulance Foundation aims to further the development of prehospital critical care – including, but not limited to, the helicopter emergency medical services (HEMS).

Since 1978 we have pioneered new solutions for the critically ill and injured. Through research, innovation, education and training, we contribute to the ongoing development of Norway’s air ambulance service and its collaborative partners.

Close cooperation with national and international health and emergency medical services, research communities, HEMS operators, and industry partners is paramount to our work, which is funded by private donors and corporate supporters.

One of our subsidiary companies, Norwegian Air Ambulance Helicopters, operates the government-funded Helicopter Emergency Medical Services in Norway and Denmark, and is a pivotal asset to our work. Click here to read more about our subsidiaries.
