GDF medevacs 2 Reg 7 children to city

The Guyana Defence Force (GDF) recently conducted a successful medical evacuation mission to transport two young patients from the Chinoweing Health Post in Region Seven (Cuyuni-Mazaruni) to receive urgent medical care.
The patients, an 11-month-old infant and a 4-year-old child were facing health complications that required immediate attention beyond the capabilities of the local health facility.
The GDF utilised the reliable 8R-GMN Islander for the evacuation, ensuring a safe and secure journey for the young patients. Upon arrival at the Eugene F Correia International Airport, the children were swiftly transferred to the awaiting ambulance, which then transported them to the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation for further medical care.
Captain Teffurn James and Lieutenant Shane Jones were the pilot and co-pilot, respectively, while Corporal Jamal Sears and Private Kenisha Boyce provided medical care to the young patients during the evacuation.
The GDF wishes a speedy recovery for the young patients. (GDF)
