The vice-president of the Regional Council of Medicine of Paraná, Eduardo Baptistella, used social media to report that 15 of the victims who were on the plane that crashed in Vinhedo, in the interior of São Paulo, this Friday (9), were doctors. The VoePass airline aircraft crashed with 61 occupants when it left Cascavel, Paraná, bound for Guarulhos, in São Paulo. No people survived.
“Unfortunately, we had very sad news about the plane crash with colleagues leaving Cascavel for São Paulo. There is little information, but CRM leaves its condolences here. We are trying to help families in any way possible. But the fact is that around 15 doctors lost their lives on that flight. So, may God comfort the hearts of everyone who is suffering right now”, he said.
