State Achieves Successful Air Medical Transfer of Infant from Ciudad Juárez to Chihuahua Capital
Chihuahua, Mexico, April 15, 2026 – A coordinated effort between the State Civil Protection Coordination (CEPC), the State Public Security Secretariat (SSPE), and the Ministry of Health successfully facilitated the air medical transfer of a 10-month-old infant from Ciudad Juárez to Chihuahua. The infant required urgent specialized medical attention.
The patient was initially receiving care at the Children’s Hospital in Ciudad Juárez after presenting with an acute respiratory complication. Due to the severity of the infant’s condition, an immediate air evacuation to the capital was determined necessary for admission to the Children’s Specialty Hospital.
Logistics and In-Flight Care
The CEPC was responsible for managing the operational logistics of this critical transfer. Throughout the journey aboard the aircraft, paramedical personnel from the agency provided continuous pre-hospital care, meticulously monitoring the infant’s vital signs and ensuring stability at all times.
The aircraft made a safe landing in the vicinity of the Deportiva Sur in Chihuahua. A unit from the State Government’s Rescue Unit (URGE) was already awaiting its arrival, and their personnel completed the final ground transfer to the specialized hospital.
Commitment to Public Health
The state administration reaffirms its commitment to continued coordinated work among its agencies to safeguard the lives and health of the people of Chihuahua. To this end, all available technical and human resources are made available for emergency situations.
This successful operation highlights the dedication and efficiency of the involved state entities in responding to critical medical emergencies, ensuring that the most vulnerable citizens receive the specialized care they need, regardless of their location within the state.
The infant’s condition and current status at the Children’s Specialty Hospital have not been publicly disclosed, but the successful transfer marks a crucial step in their ongoing medical treatment.
This event underscores the importance of robust inter-agency cooperation and the availability of specialized medical transport services for residents across the state, particularly in cases where time-sensitive interventions are paramount.
The swift and effective execution of this air medical transfer serves as an example of the state’s capacity to mobilize resources for the well-being of its citizens, demonstrating a high level of preparedness and a strong commitment to public health.
Further details regarding the infant’s progress will be provided as they become available, subject to medical privacy regulations.
