Riyadh: A seriously ill Indian national from Uttar Pradesh has been repatriated from Saudi Arabia to India with stretcher support arranged by the Indian Embassy in Riyadh.
In a post on X on Monday, May 11, the Embassy said the patient, identified as Dinesh Kumar, had been hospitalised in Riyadh due to a critical medical condition before being flown back home safely.
The image shared by the Embassy showed Kumar lying on a stretcher inside an aircraft while medical personnel and accompanying staff assisted him during the journey to India.
According to the mission, officials coordinated his medical travel by arranging a stretcher ticket along with a separate ticket for a medical escort accompanying him on the journey.
“Committed to help our nationals,” the Embassy said while sharing details of the assistance provided.
Recently, the Indian Embassy in Saudi Arabia also facilitated the repatriation of a 59-year-old Indian expatriate who suffered a stroke while living in Riyadh.
Indian diplomatic missions across Gulf countries frequently assist expatriates facing medical emergencies, labour disputes and legal issues, including facilitating emergency repatriation in critical cases.
