India has handed over four advanced life support ambulances to Seychelles to strengthen bilateral cooperation in the health sector.

High Commissioner of India to Seychelles Rohit Rathish today handed over the ambulances to the country’s Health Minister, Marvin Fanny.
The High Commission of India said the gift reflects the people-centric nature of bilateral relations and the longstanding cooperation between the two countries in healthcare.

Earlier, Prime Minister Narendra Modi had handed over six advanced life support and basic life support ambulances to Seychelles during his State Visit to the island nation in June this year.

The Indian High Commission said the electronic units and specialised tools were repaired and calibrated at Indian naval facilities free of cost.
These will facilitate faster repairs and in-house testing of the Dornier fleet, which is used for maritime surveillance, casualty evacuation and search and rescue operations.
