Centre de premier secours, avec antenne chirurgicale d'urgence.

(that's all there is...)
I know that it means field hospital - but that's not really appropriate here since it is a private facility and not a military one. Can anyone think of a civilian term that would be a better fit?

Thank you!

surgical flying squad


Explanation:
could this be it? It doesn't seem to be very common... In fact, I was thinking more along the lines of a police flying squad (ready for action at any minute) rather than one that is prepared to take to the air, but I suppose this is just a possibility.

surgical emergency call service


Explanation:
I have the impression that this is a first aid centre, "pompier" In France the pompier deal with most urgencies and accidents and the centre has an on call system for emergency surgerie. In fact I think all the pompier services work this way
