From the abstract
Many countries have adopted the use of helicopter emergency medical services (HEMS). One such system in Japan is called "Doctor Heli" (Doctor Helicopter), which is sometimes used as a means of maternal transport. Since 2008, there have been 18 cases of Doctor Heli maternal transport to Fukushima Medical University Hospital, the ultimate referral center of Fukushima Prefecture.
