This project came about through Vivaldi’s work executing complex healthcare projects across Latin America which has built a strong network of specialized partners. A group of these partners has been awarded a contract to deliver, a complete aeromedical solution for a Colombian Navy helicopter, transforming the aircraft and preparing its crew to support Search & Rescue (SAR) and Medical Evacuation (MEDEVAC) missions.
The project strongly reflects Vivaldi’s mission of making the vital task of caring for and saving lives simpler. It goes beyond supplying medical equipment: it combines aircraft modification and certification, specialized medical equipment and its integration, functional testing, a training mannequin, a 120-hour training program for 20 professionals, and after-sales technical support.
This project will strengthen Colombia’s ability to provide medical response, stabilization and evacuation in maritime and remote environments where access to timely healthcare can be particularly challenging. It will create a certified airborne platform for SAR and MEDEVAC operations and strengthen an existing national Search & Rescue system that has coordinated 287 rescue operations and helped save more than 1,050 lives since 2020.
Vivaldi is the project operator and will execute the contract together with:
