Newborn in distress medevacked from Suddie by GDF

The Guyana Defence Force (GDF) on Tuesday successfully executed a medical evacuation (MEDEVAC) from the Suddie Public Hospital in Region Two (Pomeroon-Supenaam), following an urgent request from the Health Ministry.
The emergency mission was launched in response to the critical condition of a newborn infant, who was delivered via Caesarean section and presented with severe respiratory distress. The baby required advanced medical care that was not available at the regional facility.

The GDF aircraft, piloted by Command Pilot Lieutenant Colonel Anson Weeks and Co-pilot Captain Dwight Bonus, departed Base Camp Ayanganna at 13:26h. Onboard were two civilian medical professionals and GDF Grade 2 Medic Akeem Martin, all assigned to provide necessary in-flight medical support during the transfer.
The aircraft arrived back at Base Camp Ayanganna at 14:30h, where the infant was swiftly transferred to a waiting GDF ambulance and transported to the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation (GPHC) for continued treatment.
