PCG rescues 83-year-old dialysis patient in a flooded residence in Cagayan

The Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) is really making sure nobody is left behind.

Rescue personnel from the PCG Station - Ilocos Norte on Sunday rescued an 83-year-old dialysis patient who was stranded in her flooded residence in Barangay Apusing Daga.

On Twitter, the PCG posted photos of the rescue, as the patient was brought to Barangay Abbeg, Alcala.

In another tweet, the PCG said the patient will be transferred to a rescue vehicle that will bring her to a hospital in Tuguegarao, so she can get the medical attention that she was scheduled to have two days ago.

She was carefully transferred to a rescue vehicle that ferried her to a hospital in Tuguegarao to receive the medical service that she was scheduled to have two days ago.#BangonCagayan #BangonIsabela #RescueCagayan #RescueIsabela#DOTrPH???????? #CoastGuardPH #MaritimeSectorWorks pic.twitter.com/mVF6nVx9bk
