Bonaire – Care and Youth Caribbean Netherlands (ZJCN) has signed a two-year
agreement with aviation company Medicair to carry out emergency medical flights from
the Caribbean Netherlands. The agreement ensures the continuity of fast and reliable
medical evacuations for insured residents of Bonaire, St. Eustatius, and Saba.
Medicair is an experienced air carrier and has been providing air ambulance flights for the
residents of the Caribbean Netherlands for over ten years. This contract offers a stable
solution for regional air transport of patients in medical emergencies. In addition, SARPA
remains available as an alternative in the event that Medicair is unable to operate a flight.
ZJCN, Medicair, and Fundashon Mariadal (FM) are working closely together to ensure
the flights run efficiently. FM provides its own medical personnel for the flights and is also
responsible for flight planning.
With this partnership, ZJCN is taking an important step in strengthening emergency
medical dispatch services in the Caribbean Netherlands.
