Medical flight for injured and critically ill children

A rare disease that calls for special treatment, an accident with grave health consequences or a patient transport for repatriation from abroad – there are many possible reasons why a child may need to be moved from one hospital to another via a medical flight. If the little patient is in a critical condition, inter-hospital transfer poses a challenge in most air medical escort operations. We at PEDIATRIC AIR AMBULANCE can offer your child a safe bed-to-bed service directly to the destination hospital. Our intensive care transport is a combination of ground ambulance and ambulance flight, both of which are equipped with medical equipment to the same level as an intensive care station in a hospital.

We get your child quickly to its destination

If your child is in a critical condition, then it can only be transported with the highest safety precautions of our bed-to-bed service. During the medical flight transport and transfer by ground ambulance your child will be constantly monitored by experienced doctors and nurses using the latest medical devices. The medical equipment we use for the transport of patients includes:

We check carefully which of our medical aircraft are required for the transport of patients, including consulting with doctors providing treatment at the hospital. Moreover, the decision to transport by ambulance jet depends on the state of health of your child and the circumstances at origin and destination. We can explain to you in detail which of our medical flight transport services best suits you.
