India has expanded its healthcare assistance to Seychelles by handing over four advanced life support ambulances to the island nation.
Indian High Commissioner Rohit Rathish presented the vehicles to Seychelles Health Minister Dr Marvin Fanny during a ceremony in Victoria on Tuesday.
The Indian High Commission described the contribution as part of the people-oriented partnership between the two countries, highlighting their ongoing cooperation in healthcare and medical services.
The latest delivery follows Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s State Visit to Seychelles in June 2026, when he handed over six advanced life support and basic life support ambulances.
The Indian mission recalled the earlier contribution while highlighting continued bilateral efforts to improve healthcare facilities.
India’s assistance to Seychelles extends beyond the medical sector, with cooperation covering defence and maritime security.
In August, High Commissioner Rohit Rathish transferred five laser-propelled boats to the Seychelles Defence Force, fulfilling an announcement made by PM Modi during his June visit.
India further supplied three refurbished Dornier Main Electronic Units (MEUs), 18 sets of specialised calibrated aircraft tools, 50 safety helmets and seamanship ropes.
Defence Adviser Captain Shravan Sareen formally handed over the equipment to Seychelles Defence Force Chief Major General Michael Rosette.
The Indian High Commission said Indian naval facilities had repaired the electronic units and calibrated the specialised tools free of charge.
The equipment will support aircraft maintenance and internal testing of Dornier aircraft operated by the Seychelles Air Force. These aircraft conduct Exclusive Economic Zone surveillance, evacuate casualties and carry out search-and-rescue operations.
The safety helmets and seamanship equipment are expected to improve personnel protection and strengthen the operational readiness of the Seychelles Coast Guard, further reinforcing cooperation between the two countries.
