When disaster strikes, heroes rise — and once again, the Indian Army has proven that courage and compassion know no borders. Following the devastating earthquake that hit Myanmar, the Indian Army has launched #OperationBrahma, extending a strong arm of support to the people of Mandalay.
Under this humanitarian mission, a fully operational 200-bed field hospital has been swiftly established by a 118-member medical team of Airborne Angels from the elite Shatrujeet Brigade, who were airlifted in record time by two IAF C-17 Heavy Lift aircraft.
The efforts on the ground speak volumes:
- 145 patients treated
- 34 admitted for inpatient care
- 550 laboratory tests conducted
- 33 X-rays performed
- 5 life-saving surgeries completed
This hospital is equipped for critical surgeries, emergency care, dental check-ups, diagnostic tests, and round-the-clock medical assistance — making it a beacon of hope for hundreds of earthquake victims.
This mission is not just about emergency care — it’s a reflection of India’s timeless value of ‘Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam’ — the belief that “The World is One Family.” It also underlines India’s unwavering ‘Neighbourhood First’ policy, showcasing solidarity in times of need.
The Indian Army has gone beyond the call of duty — not as mere soldiers, but as global guardians of humanity. Every picture from the field is not just a story of rescue, but of resilience, kindness, and unity.
