The Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MoFA) of the UAE, in collaboration with the National Guard and the National Search and Rescue Centre (NSRC), has successfully conducted an air ambulance mission to transport a critically injured individual from Oman to UAE. The patient, involved in a severe traffic accident while with her family in Oman, required immediate medical attention and transfer to Sheikh Shakhbout Medical City in Abu Dhabi.
