Return hospital transport by land or air
There are several methods of medical repatriation and we can help you with:
a medical escort service in first or second class of scheduled airlines
specially equipped ambulance
ambulance aircraft
The choice of transport for medical repatriation primarily depends on the condition of your child, but also naturally on the weather conditions, the distance to the destination and the prevailing situation at places of departure and arrival. From your information and the doctors presently giving medical treatment, we will advise you the best, quickest and most cost-effective method of medical repatriation in your child’s case and prepare you an offer.
Our specialists for your child
The medical care of children differs markedly from treatment of adults. In the case of younger patients, in addition to differences in anatomy and physiology, there are also special diseases that afflict them. Our team, which we put together for you and your child to provide a medical repatriation service, consists of experienced consultants and senior doctors from prestigious German hospitals such as the Ludwig-Maximilian University in Munich. They are constantly reskilled with training in the latest methods and standards. For each deployment there is a doctor and nurse in attendance, who are paediatric intensive care specialists. In cases of special requirements, we provide further specially trained medical professionals to cover the respective field.
Our equipment you can rely on
You can rely on the fact that for a medical repatriation worldwide our medical transport team has the latest and best equipment at its disposal. Your child will receive the same standard of care it would at a German university hospital clinic. Our equipment includes:
- Baby Pod II incubator for neonatal intensive care, specially designed for flexible deployment
- Hamilton T1® – a ventilator that supports even the tiniest of premature babies with a tidal (breathing) volume as low as 2 ml
- Alere EPOC® – a blood gas analysis device that determines oxygen and carbon dioxide levels in the blood
- GE Vscan™ – a sonography and echocardiography device, which allows us to recognise complications as early as possible and gives us a visual display of heart function at all times
- Corpuls C3® monitor for constant monitoring of the patient, equipped with ECG, defibrillator, pacer, SpO2, NIBP and IBP sensors specially adapted for children
- Perfusor® compact S – up to eight syringes for intravenous therapies
