Critical patient airlifted from U.S. to India for treatment

A woman was recently flown in from the United States to Chennai by an air ambulance after she developed multiple complications following a cardiac condition. She was air lifted from Portland, Oregon, and brought to Chennai last week.

She was treated at a corporate hospital in the city and is currently recovering, sources said.

According to people involved in the transfer, she had developed cardiac issues involving multiple organs. The air transfer was done by the International Critical Care Air Transfer Team, (ICATT), said Rahul Singh Sardar, its co-founder. “We are used to transferring critical care patients. We were given this task, and we carried it out,” he said.
