The Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MoFA), in coordination with the National Guard - National Search and Rescue Centre (NSRC), has conducted a medical evacuation for a critically injured person following a severe car accident while being with his family in Oman.
The accident claimed the life of a UAE female citizen and left others with serious injuries. The injured were initially transported from the accident scene to the Ibri Hospital for emergency care.
In cooperation and support of the Omani authorities, an airlift operation was carried out to transfer the injured person from Oman to the United Arab Emirates aboard an NSRC aircraft to complete his treatment alongside his family.
MoFA commended the efforts of the Omani authorities and their prominent role in providing support to the UAE Embassy in Muscat to ensure the success of the medical evacuation.
The Ministry urged all travellers to exercise caution and vigilance while travelling by land; to adhere to laws, regulations, and traffic rules; and to abide by speed limits to avoid endangering their own lives and the lives of others.
