A 12-year-old girl is in Waikato Hospital in a serious condition after being found unconscious at a Mangakino property.

Pilot Barry Vincent says a local ambulance initially provided medical attention while Fire Rescue set up a landing zone for the chopper.

'St John Intensive Care Paramedic's flown out by the helicopter continued to provide medical support en route to Waikato Hospital.

'The girl was serious but stable upon arrival. The helicopter was used because of the time frame required to get the girl to hospital.”

So easy to take this amazing service for granted. When you need it then reality of the value hits home. Wishing the best outcome for patient and family.
