Muscat: The Royal Air Force of Oman has conducted a medical evacuation for a citizen in need of healthcare in Musandam Governorate.
According to the Ministry of Defence (MoD), one of the helicopters of the Royal Air Force of Oman carried out a medical evacuation for a female citizen in need of healthcare from Al Batikhi area in the Wilayat of Khasab to Khasab Hospital in Musandam Governorate to receive the necessary specialised treatment.
The Royal Air Force of Oman (RAFO) was formed on 1st March 1959. During the accession of His Majesty the late Sultan Qaboos bin Said and the rebirth of the Sultanate of Oman in 1970, the Royal Air Force of Oman became an independent entity, a dynamo of national defence as well as national civil development.
During the early years of the renaissance period, RAFO played a key part in civil development efforts by conducting activities that helped in the advancement and growth of the nation. Helicopters transported medical teams of the Rural Medical Services. Search and rescue operations were also conducted during disasters for the society.
