Long distance medical escort is a transportation service that helps in the transfer of non-emergency patients, especially those patients who are medically stable but need to be transported to another place for better treatment facilities or shifted closer to the family for better care.
In India, several air ambulance services offer this specialized service in which their team takes care of the travel logistics and ensures that the transfer is done smoothly and without delay.
Types of Long Distance Medical Escort Air Services
The different types of air ambulance medical transport offered by Flying Doctors India are:
Private charter air ambulance
For trauma patients or those who require urgent medical treatment, a prompt response can be crucial to their survival. The best option in such cases is a private air ambulance that is equipped with state-of-the-art medical equipment. Our highly-trained medical crew is skilled in overseeing the safe passage of the patient and is qualified to handle emergency situations and provide critical care treatment if needed. We also have priority on the runway for take-off and landing, as well as access to the green lane during an emergency.
Short-notice International flight
If the patient needs immediate international transfer to and from nearby Asian countries such as UAE, Nepal, Bhutan, Sri Lanka, and Bangladesh, we can provide air ambulance service on short notice. Our medical team will take care of the patient’s medical needs, including administering medication and oxygen if required and constantly monitoring their vitals.
