What Is a Medical Flight?
A medical flight is the transport via airplane of a sick or injured individual who requires special medical attention from trained medical professionals during the flight. Medical flights will have a variety of medical equipment available, as well as patient-specific medications, to ensure that the patient is as safe and comfortable as possible throughout the duration of the flight.
Who Needs a Medical Flight?
There a variety of reasons why people would need to take a medical flight. For instance, if a person is on vacation and suffers a severe injury, he or she may want to take a medical flight back to his or her home country to receive treatment. Or, if someone has a rare disease or disorder that requires them to travel a long distance to seek specialized care, they can take a medical flight and receive the necessary care during the trip.
