With the aim of strengthening access to health and wellbeing services in the Archipelago, the Colombian Aerospace Force, FAC, through the Caribbean Air Group, GACAR, in conjunction with the Colombian National Navy, ARC, carried out a humanitarian assistance activity on the islands of Providencia and Santa Catalina.
For this activity, four tons of humanitarian aid traveled to El GACAR, from where they were embarked on an ARC ship. The sea crossing, with an approximate duration of eight hours, made the safe transport of supplies, personnel and equipment to the island of Providencia, for the successful execution of this activity for the benefit of its inhabitants.
Finally, after 15 hours of work, 5,797 donations and 2,480 treatments were made in 13 medical specialties, all aimed at the benefit of the Raizal and Islanders.
In this way, the military Forces continue to bring health and well-being to the most remote areas of the country, where access to these services is limited.
