Sri Lanka Navy rescued a seriously-injured a Chinese merchant ship crew member in the Eastern deep seas in the early hours of yesterday. The Chinese national had been in need of immediate medical assistance due to the serious injuries sustained while on board MV Full Comfort which was sailing from India to Brazil on the international shipping lane close to Sri Lanka.
In response to the request made by the People s Republic of China Embassy in Sri Lanka, Sri Lanka Navy immediately dispatched two fast Naval vessels with a medical team Saturday night to rescue the injured crew member. The Chinese merchant ship was located 80 kilometers North-East of Trincomalee and the patient was rushed ashore on board a Naval vessel with medical assistance being provided on the way.
He was taken to the Naval Hospital at the Trincomalee Naval Base for emergency medical care and later, transferred to the Trincomalee Base Hospital for further medical treatment.
