===Switzerland=== [[Image:REGA-Negative0-38-36A(1).jpg|thumb|[[Rega (air rescue)|REGA]] [[Agusta A109|Agusta A109 K2]].]] [[Rega (air rescue)|REGA]] (Schweizerische '''RE'''ttungsflugwacht / '''G'''arde '''A'''érienne / '''G'''uardia '''A'''erea) is the air rescue service which provides emergency medical assistance in [[Switzerland]], notably in mountains but also in cases of life-threatening emergencies elsewhere. They will also return a citizen to Switzerland from a foreign country if they are in need of urgent medical care. Rega was established on 27 April 1952 by Dr. Rudolf Bucher, who thought that the Swiss rescue organisation needed a specialised air sub-section.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.rega.ch/en/start_en.aspx|title=Error 404; Seite nicht gefunden|work=rega.ch|access-date=26 February 2015|archive-date=30 July 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130730053256/http://www.rega.ch/en/start_en.aspx|url-status=dead}}</ref>
