Coast Guard Successfully Airlifts Pregnant Woman from Disney Cruise Ship

A 35-year-old woman was evacuated by the U.S. Coast Guard due to medical complications while aboard the Disney Fantasy cruise ship.

The Coast Guard conducted a medevac operation 180 miles northwest of Aguadilla, Puerto Rico, using a MH-60T Jayhawk helicopter.
The pregnant passenger required advanced medical care not available on the ship, prompting the emergency airlift.
Video footage of the rescue operation was widely shared, showcasing the precision and efficiency of the rescue team.
The patient was transported to Centro Medico Hospital in San Juan for further treatment.
Disney Cruise Line has medical staff onboard but limits passage for pregnant women beyond their 24th week of pregnancy.
