Aterriza en Bilbao el turista español hospitalizado en Tailandia por una pancreatitis grave

Alexander García Galas, el turista español que llevaba más de un mes ingresado en un hospital de Tailandia en estado grave por una pancreatitis grave, ha aterrizado la tarde de este domingo en Bilbao. García Galas, que había viajado al país asiático para hacer turismo, ha sido trasladado hasta España en un avión militar medicalizado desplazado por el Gobierno hasta Bangkok (Tailandia), que lo ha recogido la mañana de este domingo y ha aterrizado en torno a las 18.20 tras unas 10 horas de vuelo.

Según ha informado la Delegación del Gobierno en Euskadi, estaba previsto que García Galas, de 36 años, natural de Basauri y residente en San Sebastián, sea trasladado al Hospital de Cruces (Bizkaia) en cuanto el avión tomase tierra. En el vuelo lo han acompañado su madre y su cuñada. Fuentes consultadas por Efe señalan que el paciente estaba estable en el momento del despegue de la aeronave, en el que viajaron desde España el sábado 24 personas, entre ellos cinco médicos y cuatro enfermeros militares, según explicó el viernes la ministra de Defensa, Margarita Robles.

El turista español ha sido trasladado en un avión medicalizado A330 de la Unidad Médica de Aeroevacuación del Ejército del Aire y del Espacio (UMAER), que partió en la tarde del viernes desde la Base Aérea de Torrejón de Ardoz (Madrid) hasta Bangkok sin realizar escalas con el fin de traer de regreso al paciente, que ha estado ingresado en la UCI del hospital Samitivej de la capital tailandesa, tras enfermar en febrero mientras se encontraba de vacaciones en el país. Desde su ingreso, la familia intentó dos veces repatriar a Alexander, sin éxito.
