Indian Coast Guard (ICG) rescued a critically-ill fisherman from Indian Fishing Boat (IFB) Jazeera, about 40 nautical miles, off Beypore, Kerala on May 07, 2024. The fisherman experienced a near-drowning incident after he fell into the sea.
He was rescued by the IFB but his health condition deteriorated due to the excess water in the lungs.The boat, then, made a medical distress call, which was responded to by the ICG. It mobilised its Advanced Light Helicopter with a medical team from Kochi, along with Aryaman & C-404 ships.
The ICG assets located the IFB and the patient was airlifted to Kochi. He was later shifted to a nearby hospital.
The swift and prompt coordination by the ICG saved another life at sea, in line with its motto ‘Vayam Rakshama’.
