Across Continents, With Care: CapeTown to Houston

 

 

At Aero Medical & Marine Training and Rescue International, every mission is a unique story of skill, coordination, and compassion.

In a recent operation, Dr. Alejandro Frola led the transfer of a critically ill patient from the ICU at UCT Netcare in Cape Town, South Africa, to the NeuroICU at Methodist Hospital in Houston, USA.The case was particularly complex, with a diagnosis of cerebral artery dissection and severe right hemiparesis, alongside urinary catheter care, nasogastric tube feeding, and tracheostomy management.

Thanks to the outstanding collaboration with the LatitudeAirAmbulance team, every stage of this intercontinental journey, from medical stabilisation to transoceanic transfer, was executed with expertise, precision, and compassion.

From the critical care unit in Cape Town to the specialised neuroICU in Houston, this mission demonstrated the power of teamwork, meticulous planning, and an unwavering commitment to patient safety.

These journeys remind us why we do what we do and why every mile matters.
