What’s the Best Way to Get Home from Abroad if You Need Medical Help?

If you’ve been traveling abroad and became injured or ill and need help getting home, Air Ambulance Worldwide has solutions ranging from medical escorts for commercial flights to full-fledged private medical jets with ICU-level support.

The best way to get home depends on the needs of the person who is ill or injured. For someone who is ill but generally mobile and stable, a commercial medical escort is a great option. Commercial medical escorts assist with medical needs on existing commercial flights, rather than needing to charter a medical jet.

For people who are medically fragile or need significant assistance, medical evacuation flights are another option. Further, Air Ambulance Worldwide offers medical flight options for bariatric patients.

The team at Air Ambulance Worldwide is available 24/7, so feel free to call to discuss the options for your specific situation.
