While Singaporeans were celebrating National Day and taking some time off to relax over the long weekend, the Republic of Singapore Air Force’s (RSAF) search-and-rescue unit Rescue 10 was hard at work, as always.<\/p>\n
In a Facebook post on Aug 9, RSAF said that its personnel responded to a medical evacuation request at sea.<\/p>\n
The incident involved a ship crew member who required urgent medical attention while aboard a vessel at sea.<\/p>\n
According to RSAF, the crew member was successfully evacuated and transported to Singapore General Hospital, where he is reported to be conscious and in a stable condition.<\/p>\n
“We wish him a speedy recovery, and salute our RSAF aircrew and healthcare workers who remain ready around the clock to save lives,” RSAF wrote in its post.<\/p>\n
Based on the photographs posted, the H225M helicopter landed at the hospital’s new helipad.\u00a0<\/p>\n

What is Rescue 10<\/h2>\n
The RSAF maintains a 24\/7 unit, callsign Rescue 10, to respond to life-saving missions at short notice.\u00a0<\/p>\n
They are often scrambled to evacuate personnel who require immediate medical attention to hospitals, including from civilian vessels in the vicinity of Singapore.<\/p>\n
The aircraft used, a H225M medium lift helicopter<\/a>, achieved full operational capability in April 2024.<\/p>\n According to the Ministry of Defence, it has a range in excess of 740km.<\/p>\n [[nid:735746]]<\/p>\n editor@asiaone.com<\/a>\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n While Singaporeans were celebrating National Day and taking some time off to relax over the long weekend, the Republic of Singapore Air Force’s (RSAF) search-and-rescue…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":75892,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[2611],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-75891","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-buzz-headlines","wpcat-2611-id"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/75891","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=75891"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/75891\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/75892"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=75891"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=75891"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=75891"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
