GDF in life saving Medivac of injured worker out of interior

Apr 21, 2012 News

The Guyana Defence Force demonstrated that “Service” is truly its Motto with the Medivac of injured Mark Gonzales from Kuribrong to the city, yesterday.
On arrival at Base Camp Ayanganna, Gonzales, who is in a stable condition, was immediately handed into the care of a doctor and other medical personnel who whisked him off to Woodlands Hospital.
The 18-year old sustained injury when a tree branch struck him on the head, felling him to the ground. He was at the time a member of a survey team engaged in cutting lines for mining blocks in the area. He is an employee of Mohabir Surveyors which is contracted to JAPARTS.
GDF helicopter commander, Major Courtney Byrne, said that the GDF was called into action some time about 14:000 hours by officials of JAPARTS who had only learned of the incident moments earlier.
He said that he immediately departed Georgetown to do the medivac.
