Medevac off Con Dao Island

The Vietnam Coast Guard rescued a Vietnamese crew member of the 'Danisa' on Feb 26, 2025, after he suffered acute appendicitis, while the tanker was sailing 111 nautical miles southeast of Con Dao Island, Ba Ria-Vung Tau province. The Vietnam Coast Guard Region 3 Command received an emergency call from the Vietnam Maritime Search and Rescue Coordination Centre (VMRCC). at around 6:00 p.m., after the 'Danisa' had urgent medical assistance for the 40-year-old Dao Van Quang from Nghe An province. The sailor’s condition was deemed life-threatening. The vessel altered its course toward Con Dao, expecting to anchor about 1.5 nautical miles from the island on Feb 26 by 2:00 a.m. At 1:30 a.m., the Vietnam Coast Guard Region 3 Command deployed the Coast Guard Ship 2011, carrying a medical rescue team. By 2:50 a.m., they had reached the 'Danisa', where the medical team provided an initial assessment and first aid to the sailor. Given the severity of his condition, the team decided to evacuate him for immediate medical treatment on land. At 4:15 a.m., the patient was safely transported to the Con Dao medical center, where he received further treatment. He was now reported to be in stable condition and continues to recover.
