An expectant woman, who was experiencing a medical emergency, found herself stranded in Sericho Ward, Isiolo County due to impassable roads caused by recent flooding.

With medical teams unable to reach her, the situation looked dire.

I am relieved to report that the patient is now stable and receiving the vital medical attention she urgently required. Our heartfelt gratitude goes to NRT Kenya for their unwavering responsiveness," stated Dr Lowasa.

NRT's utilization of the versatile Hughes 369FF (530MG) helicopter, renowned for its multi-purpose capabilities in aerial observation, law enforcement, firefighting, utility work, and aerial surveying, proved to be a critical lifeline for the expectant mother.

In response, the CEO said he was humbled to have been in a position to assist.
