Two paratroopers jumped in tandem with an intensive care nurse and a specialist doctor. Medical supplies were also delivered.
The patient left MV Hondius, the cruise ship hit by a deadly outbreak of the virus, in mid-April at Britain's most remote inhabited overseas territory, where he lives.
Captain George Lacey, who jumped with the Pathfinders Platoon, based at Colchester Garrison, said high winds made it the mission "a particularly tricky one".
He said the team would be on the island for a few days awaiting recovery, because "sadly, you can't parachute back off the island".
