He was transferred to the Battalion Casualty Station where he was assessed and stabilized by the medical officer before being evacuated to Waioru Camp Medical Centre for treatment to be continued.
Later he was heli-evacuated to Waikato hospital, Hamilton, New Zealand where he underwent surgery and was monitored in a high dependency unit.
On 21 Jan 2019 (Monday), a follow-up relook surgery which was planned for was successfully completed. A medical team from Singapore worked with the New Zealand team to provide the best possible care for Aloysius Pang.
The Ministry of Defence (MINDEF) made arrangements for his next of kin to be flown to New Zealand.
