A Simrik Air Helicopter crew and an emergency medical team from Karuna Hospital evacuated a severely ill COVID-19 infected patient from Biratnagar to Kathmandu today. Simrik Air's H125 Airbus Helicopter, call sign 9N-ANB, commanded by Capt. Rajendra Duwal and fully equipped with a PIU (Patient Isolation Unit) and a fully prepared medical team, flew from Kathmandu to transport the patient from Birat Medical College Teaching Hospital in Biratnagar to Karuna Hospital Budhanilkantha in Kathmandu. We would like to thank the In-Flight Medical Team, which comprised Dr. Rishav Sharma and Paramedic Ms. Parbata Shrestha from Karuna Hospital, for providing essential emergency medical treatment to the patient on board while adhering to all safety procedures.
