PALEMBANG - Personnel from the Directorate of Water and Air Police (Ditpolairud) of the South Sumatra Police evacuated a resident who suffered from stone urinosis on the coast of the Upang Village River, Air Salek District, Banyuasin Regency, to be taken to a hospital in Palembang.

Direktur Ditpolairud Polda Sumsel, Kombes Sonny Mahar Budi Aditiyawan menyatakan, evakuasi tersebut merupakan misi kemanusiaan untuk membantu warga yang dalam kondisi darurat kesehatan.

"Patients on behalf of Jaini, a resident of Upang Village, are known to have diabetes. We received reports by telephone on Wednesday afternoon, April 23," said Sonny in Palembang, Antara, Thursday, April 24.

He explained, based on the information received, Jaini's condition was severe enough, with complaints of not being able to urinate until bleeding.

Responding to the report, personnel from the Upang Sandar Post immediately rushed to Jaini's house using a floating ambulance belonging to the South Sumatra Police Ditpolairud. Arriving at the location, the team immediately evacuated the patient to a hospital in Palembang City.

"The trip from Upang Village to Palembang takes about an hour by floating ambulance," he explained.
