Step-by-Step Process to get medical repatriation on commercial flights
Get in touch with us to discuss your needs. Our dedicated team is available to answer your questions and provide detailed information about our services. You can reach us by phone, email, or through our website’s contact form. During this initial consultation, we will gather essential information about the patient’s condition, travel requirements, and any specific needs to ensure a tailored solution.
The medical clearance process is a critical step to ensure the patient’s safety during transport. The patient’s physician will need to complete a Medical Information Form (MEDIF), detailing the patient’s medical history, current condition, and specific needs during the flight. This form is then reviewed by our medical team and the airline’s medical department to confirm that the patient is fit to fly and to identify any special arrangements that may be required.
Once the medical clearance is obtained, Air Stretcher handles all aspects of booking and coordination with the airlines. We work closely with our airline partners to secure the necessary approvals and arrange for the installation of the stretcher on the flight. Our team ensures that all logistical details are managed, including the removal of seats to accommodate the stretcher and the provision of any required medical equipment.
We manage all ground and air medical transport logistics to ensure a seamless journey. This includes arranging for an equipped ambulance to transport the patient from their location to the airport and coordinating with airport staff for smooth boarding and disembarkation. Our medical team accompanies the patient throughout the journey, providing continuous care and monitoring.
Throughout the entire process, we provide ongoing support and communication. Our team remains in close contact with the patient’s family, healthcare providers, and insurance companies to keep everyone informed and address any concerns. We are committed to ensuring that the patient receives the highest level of care and that the entire process is as stress-free as possible.
Our pre-repatriation process is thorough, ensuring that all aspects are managed safely, allowing you to remain worry-free.
Air Stretcher primarily takes care of stable patients who are medically fit to travel but cannot sit in a standard airplane seat due to their medical condition. Here are some examples of the types of patients taken care of:
Bedridden patients
Patients requiring intensive care
Convalescent patients
Patients with severe injuries
