The relief team from the 60 Para Field Hospital departed from Hindon Air Force Station aboard two Indian Air Force C-17 Globemaster aircraft, beginning its humanitarian mission across continents

The contingent comprises 41 personnel, including nine medical officers, trained to deliver emergency medical care in disaster-hit environments

Prepared for critical situations, the team will provide trauma management, lifesaving surgeries, emergency treatment and other essential healthcare services for earthquake survivors

To support relief operations, India has sent nearly six tonnes of medical stores and humanitarian supplies, provided by the Ministry of External Affairs

One of the aircraft is also carrying the BHISHM Cube under India's Aarogya Maitri Project, significantly strengthening the medical response on the ground

The indigenous BHISHM Cube is a rapidly deployable modular medical facility that can be assembled into a fully functional field hospital within a short time

Designed specifically for disaster and humanitarian missions, the BHISHM Cube can provide advanced trauma care, emergency surgeries, intensive care and essential treatment for up to 200 patients

Equipped with portable ventilators, patient monitors, diagnostic equipment, surgical instruments, oxygen support systems and power generation units, the mobile facility is built for challenging emergency conditions

With Operation Amistad now underway, India has reaffirmed its commitment to standing with friendly nations in times of crisis, bringing hope, expertise and lifesaving care to the people of Venezuela.
