In the fight against the clock to save lives in the midst of the pandemic, the seven patients diagnosed with covid-19 arrived yesterday from Leticia aboard the C-295 at the Military Transport Air Command, CATAM, to receive specialized care that guarantees their well-being, after failures occurred in the oxygen supply of the Hospital of the capital city of the Amazonas departement.
At around 4:00 p.m., the medical aircraft landed in CATAM from Leticia, fulfilling the mission of simultaneously transferring seven people requiring assistance in intensive care. It should be noted that during the journey to the capital city of the country, the patients were constantly monitored by medical personnel, with all the necessary equipment for this purpose.
