n the majority of nations, patients cannot be detained against their will in hospitals. However, there are instances where hospital staff members may obstruct the release of a patient due to an apparent language barrier, lack of motivation, or lack of comprehension. In such cases, if necessary, you may insist on the patient’s release from the hospital and emphasize that you are taking this action on your own initiative. If the hospital still declines, please do not hesitate to get in touch with us. We can typically find a solution, even in complicated situations.

Hospitals will occasionally refuse to release a patient or turn over medical records on the grounds that they are too sick to be relocated. There are a variety of factors that go into these choices, but one common one is the treating physician’s desire to avoid accountability for the patient’s negative outcomes.

The complete documentation is not a barrier to airborne repatriation, and the medical notes and other paperwork can be submitted later. Generally, we require the patient’s travel documentation, such as passports and visas, along with their medical records from the clinic or hospital where they received treatment. Our team of multilingual doctors will carefully review the patient’s medical notes before the medical repatriation, and if needed, they will be translated. Furthermore, we are always available to assist the patient and their family members in applying for a visa if required.

Patients who are in a coma or those who have had a stroke or heart attack are securely transported by air ambulances as most of them require critical care equipment. Patient welfare is our top priority, and each flight is carefully planned to ensure tranquility. All repatriations are planned with the help of flight planners and specialist physicians.

If you anticipate carrying a lot of luggage, you may consider booking a larger plane. Additionally, if you have any inquiries about luggage transfer, we would be happy to assist you
