A cruise-liner passenger was flown to Limassol for urgent treatment after experiencing heart attack while onboard a cruise liner off the shores of Cyprus.
The Joint Rescue Coordination Center (JRCC) announced that on 10 November 2022, it received information from the Bahamas flagged cruise ship “Ambience” that as it was sailing 69 nautical miles off Cyprus, an 82 year old man presented cardiac arrest symptoms and needed immediate medical assistance.
The JRCC immediately mobilised the “Nearchos” plan and after medical consultation from a Nicosia General Hospital doctor, a helicopter of the National Guard with a specially trained nurse of the Ambulance Unit of the Republic picked up the patient who was transferred to Limassol General Hospital for further treatment.
