GUA MUSANG – The air unit of the Fire and Rescue Department conducted a medical evacuation flight to bring an Orang Asli girl from Pos Balar here for treatment at Gua Musang Hospital yesterday.

The department’s Subang air base public relations officer Mohd Hasrizal Kamaruzzaman said the 1-year-and-3-month-old Herissya Hefly, who was down with shortness of breath, cough, and flu over the past three days, was accompanied by her mother Tijah Enda, 22, and two nurses from Gua Musang Hospital on the flight.

“The (Fire Department) crew received the task to pick up the patient while out on an operation in an AgustaWestland 189 to deliver food to the Orang Asli at a civic centre here at 10.26am,” he said in a statement today.

He said the medevac operation involved three flight crew and was led by the department’s Wahyudi Mohd Sayuhti. – Bernama, January 24, 2023
