Kochi/Agati: The Indian Navy once again performed its human commitment and operational skills and successfully airlifted a seriously ill 11 -month -old girl from the Lakshadweep’s Agati Island to Kochi. The baby girl was suffering from Fabrael Caesars (seizure with high fever) and aspiration was suffering from pneumonia, and required immediate specialized medical care that was not available on the Agati Island.

The Southern Navy Command, Kochi received an immediate medical withdrawal (Medevac) request from the district administration of Lakshadweep. Given the seriousness of the situation, the Navy immediately took action. INS Garuda, Navy’s Advanced Light Helicopter (ALH) MK III, posted at INS Garuda, was sent to the Agati Island for this important mission. It is being told that this helicopter of INAS 325 squadron rapidly brought the girl and her parents to Kochi from Agati.

On reaching Kochi, the girl has been admitted to a local hospital for further treatment.

This operation reflects the Navy’s unwavering commitment to the safety and goodness of its citizens.

Earlier, an ALH was used for medical clearance from the INS Kilton posted nearby, saving valuable life. This latest event further highlights the Navy’s abilities and its readiness to provide humanitarian aid.
