Oil Search rescues mum in labour

A women in remote Kaiam village in Gulf has thanked Oil Search Ltd (OSL) for airlifting her during delivery complications.
Roselyn Saruso safely gave birth to a healthy baby at Kikori Hospital after being flown from Kaiam in an Oil Search helicopter.
She said she had experienced labour complications but could not reach a health centre by road.
“My only hope was to send my relatives to the Oil Search Gobe camp for help,” Saruso said.
“I am not an important person and yet they sent a helicopter for me.”
Oil Seach said: “The Oil Search community affairs (OSCA) drilling support team immediately engaged the support of the medical team and sent word ahead for Roselyn to reach the Barikewa Road junction.
“There she was met by James Kol, OSCA drilling support officer who assisted her to the camp.
“Upon a quick medical assessment, a decision was made to fly Roselyn on a helicopter to the Kikori hospital.”
“On board the helicopter was a midwife medical team from the Oil Search Moro clinic who provided further support.”
Saruso thanked Oil Search management and the medical and community affairs teams “particularly James Kol.”
