A medical emergency in Limassol required an urgent air ambulance transfer.
As reported in a Facebook post from the American Medical Center, a worker on a natural gas extraction platform within Cyprus' Exclusive Economic Zone, southeast of the island, experienced severe abdominal pain in the early hours of Friday morning. Given the urgency of the situation, an airlift to a medical facility was deemed necessary.
The Joint Rescue Coordination Center promptly deployed a Republic of Cyprus helicopter to carry out the evacuation. The patient was safely transported and landed at the helipad of the American Medical Center, where medical personnel were ready to provide immediate care.
Following stabilization, the patient is now receiving the necessary treatment under the supervision of healthcare professionals.
