In a medical emergency far from home, distance can become the greatest obstacle.
In such situations, an international medical evacuation is the solution that allows a patient to be safely transported — with full medical supervision and specialized equipment — from the site of the incident to an appropriate hospital.
What Is an International Medical Evacuation
An international medical evacuation is the air transport of a patient in critical condition from one country to another, using aircraft equipped as true flying intensive care units (ICUs).
These flights are designed to provide continuous medical care, vital sign monitoring, and advanced life support throughout the entire journey.
When Is It Needed
- Accidents or serious illnesses abroad
- Patients with reduced mobility who require specialized care
- Lack of adequate medical infrastructure in the country of origin
- Medical repatriations organized by insurance companies or embassies
How It Works
At Air Ambulance Jet (AAJ), the process begins with a single call. Our medical team assesses the patient’s condition and coordinates with both the sending and receiving hospitals.
Then, we organize the air ambulance flight, the onboard medical team, and all necessary international permits.
During the flight, the patient receives continuous medical attention until arrival at the destination hospital.
In an international emergency, every minute counts.
The difference between an improvised transfer and a professional medical evacuation can mean the difference between life and death.
At Air Ambulance Jet, we make distance no obstacle to receiving world-class medical care.
