A 53 – year - old male from Kraaifontein in Cape town had been reportedly suffering a heart attack aboard the 40 metre Premier Fishing boat Ebhayi, 50 nautical miles off-shore of Plettenberg Bay.
“The ship was ordered to sail towards closest land while the patients condition was evaluated by local doctor dr. van Vuuren and Metro Rescue duty doctor dr. de Vries via radio telephone with the assistance of Maritime Radio Services,” says Craig Lambinon NSRI spokesperson.
According to Lambinon on arrival on-scene, the NSRI rescue swimmers and the doctor were winch hoisted aboard the vessel to stabilize the patient.
He was then transported by a Baycare ambulance to Plettenberg Bay Medi-Clinic where he is reported to be in a stable and satisfactory condition in the care of the hospital staff.
