BEIRUT, Lebanon, Apr. 1 -- The Chinese Peacekeeping Level One Plus Hospital to the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) on March 24 conducted a multinational airborne medical evacuation (MEDEVAC) drill with Spain's Level One Hospital, the Aeromedical Evacuation Team (AMET), and UNIFIL Medical Branch.
The scenario simulated the treatment and evacuation of a blast victim. After initial treatment at the Spain's Level One Hospital, the patient was transferred to China's Level One Plus Hospital for further care. Once stabilized, the patient was transported to a helipad and airlifted by AMET to St. George's Hospital in Beirut.
This is the first airborne MEDEVAC drill organized by UNIFIL since the armistice between Lebanon and Israel and it aimed to enhance the emergency medical coordination among multinational troops. The UNIFIL plans to continue similar training to enhance emergency medical response level in the mission area.
