Medevac off Lázaro Cárdenas

Personnel of the Mexican Navy in coordination with the Regional Captaincy of the Lázaro Cárdenas Port, carried out the medical evacuation of a crew member of the 'SCF La Perouse' 50 nautical miles off the coast. The man of Russian nationality presented the symptoms of severe bleeding peptic ulcer while the ship was west-southwest of the port of Lázaro Cárdenas, Michoacán. The Naval Command immediately activated the protocols established for the safeguarding of human life at sea, and ordered the departure of a Defender-type vessel of the ENSAR from Lázaro Cárdenas with naval health personnel on board. The crew member was evacuated, and the necessary pre-hospital care was provided during the transfer to the dock of the Tenth Naval Zone. Upon arrival, the patient was handed over to paramedics for the transfer to a private clinic in the town, to receive specialized medical care.
