KARACHI - Edhi air ambulance service has been launched in Pakistan yet again.
It had been suspended since the last many years due to the outdated aircrafts, resumed its functions again on Thursday when a twin engine light aircraft of the service flew from Karachi to Quetta airport to fly a patient back.
“We got a call from the Edhi Centre in Quetta that a female patient, who was suffering from lung infection was referred by doctors to Karachi so we took our six-seater Piper Seneca-2 and brought her back to Karachi,” said Syed Safdar Abbas Zaidi who is the Line Pilot and coordination general manager in Edhi Air Ambulance service.
Edhi air ambulance services had been suspended since many years due to the lack of aircraft service. “But now we have set everything ready and can respond to any call anywhere in Pakistan,” he said.
