Mission Report | 28th June 2025 | Dubai to Mumbai
A 40-year-old male diagnosed with cerebral infarction was successfully repatriated from Dubai to Mumbai as a commercial economy wheelchair case. Three days prior, the patient had been medically evaluated and found conscious and on room air. On the day of transfer, our flying medical team, equipped with emergency medications and equipment, prepared the patient for the journey and accompanied him in a ground ambulance from hospital to Dubai International Airport. With airline assistance, airport formalities—including check-in, immigration, and security—were smoothly completed while the patient remained stable under continuous monitoring. The 3-hour 15-minute flight to Mumbai was uneventful, with the patient remaining stable throughout. Upon arrival, local medical staff assisted in disembarkation and immigration, after which the patient was transferred by ground ambulance to his residence and safely handed over to his family. The entire mission was carried out with strict medical supervision, ensuring patient safety and stability at every stage.
