Like in the case of a Filipino and a second officer at sea on board a vessel. Airgurus received a distress call from a shipping company around midnight of March 4, 2011. The ship’s captain advised that one of their vessel’s seamen on board was suffering from an unknown illness. The patient initially complained of dizziness and headaches accompanied by feeling very weak. In addition, he has difficulty opening his eyes. Also, the patient told his management that he had gastric problems and he was just taking self-medication.
At that time, the vessel was already deviating its’ course to Zamboanga, Philippines. The captain of the vessel advised that as of 07:45, they arrived in R/V position 07 06 N 121 43E approximately 10 nautical miles off the coast of Zamboanga. The vessel is a Cape Size bulk carrier and has a helicopter landing operations designated area on top of hatch number six (6). Consequently, Airgurus’ Capt. Lero immediately confirmed that the air ambulance will immediately fly out at 6am same day to conduct medical evacuation / extraction of the patient. Therefore, the air ambulance left on schedule and reached the vessel all the way from Manila by 2pm. As a result, Airgurus’ air ambulance helicopter was already on its’ way 25 nautical miles off Zamboanga to Davao airport by 2:30pm . Hence, the patient is already on his way to Davao Doctor’s hospital by 5:15pm via a ground ambulance.
