KOHIMA: Assam Rifles carried out a critical medical evacuation of a two-year-old girl from Grihang, a remote village in Kamjong District of Manipur.
The girl accidentally fell into a water tank in the early morning of Monday at one of the most inaccessible parts of the state. With poor modes of communication, the village had very little hope for timely medical support.
On receiving the distress call, the Assam Rifles, with medical personnel, rushed to the spot.
The child was stabilised and coordinated a military helicopter for evacuation to the Assam Rifles Military Hospital in Imphal. Despite the logistical challenges, the seamless coordination ensured the child was in expert care within hours of the accident.
At Assam Rifles Military Hospital, expert paediatric care ensured the child was brought out of danger. Timely intervention was critical, and any delay could have cost her life.
The child’s parents, overwhelmed and in tears of gratitude, said, “We thought we were going to lose her. Assam Rifles gave her back to us,” stated a press release.
