As other commenters pointed out, this looks like a total publicity stunt. Surely it would be safer and more practical to use drones to deliver equipment/supplies with remote medical specialists advising the patient themselves or those nearby to assist (somebody would have had to be in a position to call for assistance to begin with so there is most likely a conscious person around). Obviously not ideal, but in conjuction with standard on the ground responders I would imagine this would be a much better way to address the time urgency requirement.
