Injured engineer airlifted from Afghanistan
In an operation described as the first of its kind during the ongoing lockdown, a Bengaluru-based air ambulance service brought a critically injured Indian engineer from Afghanistan to Hyderabad.
International Critical Care Air Transfer Team (ICATT), a Bengaluru-based air ambulance service, said it received the call from the individual’s insurer to carry out the evacuation, days after the 44-year-old engineer broke his hip in an accident on April 16.
A source said the engineer, currently receiving treatment at a hospital in Hyderabad, has been given a routine Covid-19 check, in keeping with the protocol.
