The Process

Case Initiation

The process begins the moment we receive a case. Our operations team immediately steps into action, initiating a detailed coordination process. We gather comprehensive information about the patient’s medical condition, current location, destination, and any specific requirements. This includes communicating with healthcare providers, family members, and relevant stakeholders to ensure every critical detail is documented.

Medical Evaluation

Once the initial details are collected, our in- house medical team conducts an exhaustive evaluation to assess the patient’s fitness for air travel. This involves reviewing medical reports, consulting with attending physicians, and determining the stability of the patient. If necessary, our team will request additional medical tests or second opinions to ensure that the journey does not compromise the patient’s health in any way. This step is crucial, as it sets the foundation for a safe and well-planned transfer.

Documentation

A meticulous documentation process follows the medical evaluation. Our team handles the preparation of all necessary paperwork, including; Medical reports, travel documents (e.g., passports, visas, permissions), Consents from family members and healthcare providers, Airline approvals (in the case of commercial transfers). Each document is carefully verified to comply with both local and international regulations, ensuring no delays or complications arise during the transfer.

Flight Coordination

Depending on the patient’s condition and the medical team’s assessment, we identify and arrange the most suitable mode of transfer; Commercial Stretcher, Medically Configured Business Class, Dedicated Air Ambulance. Flight schedules, airline approvals, ground transportation logistics, and receiving hospital coordination are managed simultaneously to ensure zero interruptions in the transfer process.

Flying with Medical Team

During the journey, the patient is accompanied by our expert medical team, which includes doctors, paramedics, or nurses as required. They are equipped with advanced medical equipment such as ventilators, cardiac monitors, oxygen supply, infusion pumps, and life-saving medications. The team remains vigilant throughout the flight, monitoring the patient’s vitals, administering treatment as needed, and ensuring the patient remains stable and comfortable until the final handover.
