Ruan Roberts, the Urlings fisherman who was recently medically airlifted to
Guadeloupe by CalvinAir Helicopters has returned home. CalvinAir Helicopters
transported the patient, who had undergone treatment for decompression sickness
at the University Hospital of Guadeloupe, late Saturday afternoon, right after he
had completed the last round of treatment.
Robert’s case was also given special consideration, since there was no available
return flight to Antigua before May 1 st , and remaining in the facility until then
would result in hefty hospital fees.
Although still experiencing fatigue in his limbs, Robert is glad to be back at home
and expressed his gratitude to the Calvin Ayre Foundation and CalvinAir
Helicopters, for their swift intervention in his medical emergency.
The Member of Parliament for the area, Kelvin Simon has thanked the Foundation
for its critical emergency response service.
