What is Medical Repatriation?
Medical repatriation is the process of transporting a patient from one country back to their home country for further treatment or recovery. It can involve a private air ambulance, commercial airline with medical escort, stretcher service, or ground ambulance—depending on the patient’s condition and urgency.
We take care of all aspects of the journey, including:
Medical assessment and clearance
Flight and transport arrangements
Liaising with healthcare providers at both ends
Handling documentation for border control, visas, and customs
Emergency vs. Planned Medical Transfers
Emergency Transfers
Emergency Transfers are for critically ill patients requiring immediate evacuation often within hours. These missions typically use fully equipped air ambulances or commercial flights with intensive care teams.
Planned Transfers
Planned Transfers allow more time for preparation. They are suitable for patients who are stable but still need medical supervision and specialised equipment during travel. This option can be more cost-efficient and flexible in terms of scheduling.
Whether urgent or planned, our case managers coordinate every detail, ensuring patient safety and comfort throughout the journey.
