An Emirati woman and her family were airlifted from Salalah, Oman, following a serious traffic accident, according to the National Search and Rescue Centre on Sunday.
The incident involved multiple family members and required a swift evacuation to ensure the injured woman received critical medical treatment in the UAE.
The rescue operation, which was the third successful air ambulance mission carried out in Oman, was managed by the National Guard – National Search and Rescue Centre in coordination with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
The air ambulance transported the injured Emirati citizen and her family from Oman to the UAE, ensuring they could be treated in familiar surroundings and surrounded by their loved ones.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs praised the Omani authorities for their support in facilitating the medical evacuation.
The Omani government provided crucial assistance to the UAE embassy in Muscat, contributing to the swift and efficient evacuation process.
The ministry emphasized the collaborative efforts between the two nations to ensure the well-being of their citizens in times of crisis.
In a related incident, the National Search and Rescue Centre had previously conducted a similar evacuation for an injured man and his family from Oman, following another traffic accident. Tragically, a female citizen lost her life in that incident.
These evacuations highlight the ongoing commitment of the UAE government to protect its citizens abroad and provide prompt and effective assistance during emergencies.
The National Search and Rescue Centre has issued a call to all travelers to exercise increased caution and adhere to traffic laws and regulations while traveling by land.
The authority stressed the importance of following specified speed limits to ensure the safety of all road users.
The recent evacuation underscores the UAE’s dedication to ensuring the safety and well-being of its citizens, no matter where they are in the world.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs continues to prioritize the protection and support of Emirati nationals, with a focus on rapid response and coordination in emergency situations.
