A significant emergency operation, coordinated by the 112 Emergency and Security Coordination Center (CECOES) of the Government of the Canary Islands, was activated this Wednesday afternoon to attend to a 5-year-old child showing signs of drowning in a hotel pool in Mogán.

The incident occurred around 6:10 PM when the 112 received the alert. The hotel's own lifeguard managed to rescue the minor from the water and provide initial care until health services arrived.

Personnel from the Canary Islands Emergency Service (SUC), deploying a medicalized ambulance and a basic life support unit, stabilized the minor at the scene. Subsequently, the patient was transferred by the medicalized ambulance to the port of Arguineguín.

From there, a medicalized helicopter from the SUC undertook the direct aerial evacuation to the Canary Islands University Hospital Materno Infantil, in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria. Health authorities reported that the minor is exhibiting moderate drowning symptoms.
