When a family member falls ill abroad, bringing them home safely is the priority. International repatriation involves several moving parts.
Medical coordination
Doctors at both hospitals share summaries. The air ambulance team assesses the patient and plans equipment and staff.
Permits and clearances
Overflight, landing and handling permissions must be arranged for each country on the route.
Ground logistics
Ambulance pick-up, airport transfers and hospital admission are coordinated at both ends.
Timelines
Typical planning takes one to two days. Emergencies are prioritised wherever possible.
Checklist for families abroad
Gather the passport, insurance, medical reports, hospital contact and the receiving hospital's name. Inform your insurer early and ask your embassy for support if needed. Share all of this with the air ambulance coordinator.
Key takeaway: Call early and share the medical summary. The sooner we start, the sooner your loved one is home.
