Help our Saviors of the Sky: The MUG-Heli's vital role in emergency response.
In the heart of West Flanders, Bruges, the MUG-Heli service at the Instituut Medische Dringende Hulpverlening plays a pivotal role in saving lives during critical emergencies. This airborne medical unit, equipped with skilled professionals and cutting-edge equipment, serves as a beacon of hope for those in dire need of urgent medical assistance.
What is the intervention area of the MUG-Heli?
The MUG-Heli departs from its base in Bruges and can land within 15 minutes in all of West Flanders, a whole section of East Flanders and Zeeland, a province in the southwest of the Netherlands. In these areas, the MUG-Heli can provide assistance within 15 minutes.
Saving Lives from Above
The MUG-Heli service is a lifeline for individuals facing life-threatening situations in remote or hard-to-reach areas. With its ability to swiftly reach accident sites, rural locations, or urban areas with heavy traffic, the MUG-Heli team provides rapid medical intervention that can make all the difference in critical moments. Saving an average of 40 lives a year!
Unique Blood Transfusions on the Fly
One of the standout features of the MUG-Heli service is its capability to perform blood transfusions on-site, a crucial intervention for trauma patients with severe blood loss. This ability to deliver blood transfusions in the field can be the determining factor in stabilizing patients before they reach a hospital, significantly improving their chances of survival.
The Importance of Donations
Supporting the MUG-Heli service with donations is paramount to sustaining this vital lifeline. Donations help fund essential resources such as medical supplies, equipment maintenance, and staff training, ensuring that the MUG-Heli team can continue to deliver prompt and effective care to those in need.

With the Padel Marathon on June 7 & 8, 2024, we aim to break the Guinness world record. We will attempt to play for 36 hours in a row. All profits from this event will go to the MUG-Heli. Performances and culinary delights will be provided throughout the weekend. We obviously cannot do this alone and need your help, every euro is welcome to raise as much as possible for this wonderful initiative. Please help and support the heroes of the sky so they can continue to save lives. You never know, the next one might be yours.
