Air Ambulance Services in Nigeria
Air Ambulance Services in Nigeria -Nigeria is a beautiful country with stunning landscapes and bustling cities. However, the quality of healthcare services is poor, especially in rural areas. One of the major problems is the density of nurses, midwives, and doctors. The World Health Organization rates the density as 1.95 healthcare workers for every 1,000 people in the country. In addition to having low density of healthcare professionals, the health workforce is concentrated in urban areas such as Lagos, making it even more difficult to find access to good healthcare in rural areas.
Why would a Nigerian want an air ambulance to another country?
Native residents of Nigeria might choose to travel in an air ambulance to another for several reasons. They may wish to travel to a country with higher quality medical facilities, particularly if they live in an area where it is difficult to access quality medical care. Native Nigerians may also have family who have moved to another country, such as Great Britain, and decide to travel to be closer to them during a difficult period of medical treatment and recovery. If you have to travel outside of Nigeria for medical treatment, an air ambulance can provide you with necessary care while on route and ensure you travel safely and comfortably.
Why would I need an air ambulance from Nigeria to another country?
It’s not pleasant to think about, but injuries and serious illness can occur while traveling. If you are traveling to Nigeria, you should be aware of air ambulance options which can fly you home for care. You may choose to travel home to receive treatment in a better-quality medical facility than those available where you’re traveling. You may also find it difficult to communicate with medical staff while visiting another country even if you speak the language and wish to return home where medical professionals speak your native language. Lastly, it is difficult to go through serious medical treatment away from a support network of family and close friends, and you may choose to take an air ambulance from Nigeria to be close to this group who can help you through your medical treatment and recovery.
Air ambulance in a private jet or commercial flight
While people often travel on their own to receive medical care, the safest means of patient transport is with an air ambulance services in Nigeria. When traveling in an air ambulance, there are two forms of aircraft available, an ambulance jet or space on a scheduled commercial flight accompanied by medical personnel. Traveling on a scheduled flight is cheaper than on a private ambulance jet. However, a private jet outfitted with the latest medical equipment provides the best in-flight medical care and has shorter lead times than commercial flights. Depending on the patient’s condition, a private ambulance jet may be necessary or simply a better option.
In other cases, however, the best option is traveling on a commercial flight accompanied by medical personnel. Patients who can travel sitting upright can utilize a regular Business Class seat accompanied by a doctor or paramedic who can provide emotional support during the flight and first-aid care if needed. For patients who are stable and able to travel lying down but not sitting, space can be reserved on a scheduled plane with seats removed to make room from a stretcher and accompanying medical staff as well as screens installed to ensure the patient’s privacy.
Humancare can transport patients using international commercial stretcher service on commercial airlines. This service requires advance planning. In a typical commercial stretcher transport, Humancare World wide will block rows of seats on the commercial airliner to allow room for an FAA approved stretcher, then surround the area with a curtain.
