Air Ambulance brings in PNG citizen from overseas
An air ambulance landed last night 19:45pm, 12th April 2020 at Jacksons International Airport, bringing home two stranded Papua New Guinea Citizens from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
A female patient in her 40’s and her caretaker have been in Kuala Lumper for medical treatment, non-COVID-19 related for almost two months before the State of Emergency (SoE) and the nationwide lockdown came into effect.
The patient and her caretaker came back into the country under private arrangements, with approval from the SoE Controller Mr David Manning.
Deputy Secretary Operations and current Officer in Charge of the Department of Foreign Affairs and International Trade, Mr John Yamin thanked the family for their patience, understanding, cooperation and respect towards the State of Emergency Orders and lock down nationwide and especially on international travel into PNG from overseas.
He further extended appreciation to the other key government and line agencies through the Office of the SoE Controller in ensuring preparatory work were done and proper protocols were in place prior to allowing them into the country last night.
The National Airport Cooperation Team and the PIH paramedics were at Jacksons to receive the patient from the air ambulance. They were taken immediately to Port Moresby International Hospital for medical care and quarantine
The Air ambulance refueled and left for Malaysia soon afterwards.
The three (centered) two boys and the father were at the airport with the team from DFAIT and representative from Department of Transport to welcome the patient and her caretaker home last night 20:30pm at the Jacksons International Airport.
