Medivac at Sunrise

Special thanks to volunteer Nurse Marcy Gravesande for joining today's early morning evacuation flight from Ogle. The call came in from Yupukari Village last night - an eight year old boy with a compound arm fracture. The boy will be picked up from the Karanambu airstrip.

Pictured below is the reason the aircraft had to overnight at Georgetown: a fractured hip evacuated yesterday afternoon from the Rupununi along with two other emergency patients.
