Chapters in Rega’s history
 
What began back in 1952 as a small group of pioneers has in the course of half a century developed into a professionally-run organisation employing some 270 members of staff.
 
Rega was founded on 27 April 1952, when the physician, Dr. Rudolf Bucher, proposed that a sub-section of the Swiss rescue organisation, the Schweizerische Lebensrettungs-Gesellschaft, should be formed, which would specialise in rescue by air.
