Following the temporary suspension of Flying Doctor Service (FDS) operations in Sarawak due to a helicopter accident, the Health Ministry is set to announce the number of residents affected by the interruption of follow-up medical services. Health director-general Datuk Dr Mahathar Abd Wahab confirmed that the statistics on the impacted residents have been compiled and will be submitted to Health Minister Datuk Seri Dr Dzulkefly Ahmad for further action.
Dr Dzulkefly revealed that the suspension was implemented following a tragic incident on Tuesday where a BO-105 helicopter operated by Layang-Layang Aerospace crashed, resulting in the death of all five individuals on board, including medical officer Dr Ainul Baraah Kamaruddin, medical assistant Alexson Adit Henry, nurses Debra Moset and Jessie Paya Jok, and pilot Captain Zainol Afiq Bee Sham. The accident occurred near the end of the Long Lellang STOLport runway around 3:40 pm.
