Minutes after sunrise on the morning of the 42nd anniversary of the Republic, two emergency patients were not having their best holiday - they lifted off in a Medevac flight en route to the capital city. A fourteen year old boy had developed an acute abdomen the night before and was already prepped for emergency surgery. A Rupununi woman with a gynecological emergency was also on board to seek medical assistance.
Guyana regulations require flights of this type to be conducted between sunrise and sunset. Both patients were stable upon arrival at Ogle International Aerodrome and the Ministry of Health Ambulance was waiting at the gate on arrival.
