The air ambulance is capable of conducting medical evacuation operations for critically ill Covid-19 patients. The air ambulance has been fitted with a specially designed Medical Evacuation Kit, equipped with a ventilator, infusion pumps and vital-sign monitors, which can be used for critically ill patients.   The aircraft is spacious, allowing the medial crew greater freedom to attend to patients. It also features a detachable Medical Evacuation Bed which was designed by the Aeronautical Engineering Support Wing at Ratmalana.    The plane was air-tested on Thursday, where all systems were checked and found to be successful.   The flight was captained by the Commanding Officer of the No. 8 Squadron, Group Captain Amal Perera.   SLAF sources said the aircraft was modified on instructions of Air Force Commander Sumangala Dias.   <img src="http://static.dailymirror.lk/assets/uploads/image_a605038214.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><a href="http://www.dailymirror.lk/print/front_page/SLAF-Y-12-aircraft-modified-as-an-air-ambulance/238-187194" target="_blank">Source</a></blockquote>
