When it is possible to move a patient commercially instead of by air ambulance, Remed Assistance offers this service. Repatriations can be speedier, more comfortable and more spacious by commercial aircrafts.
On commercial flights, medical escorts may have more room to care for the patient and travel companions may accompany their relatives more comfortably.
Serious medical cases' hospital costs may be high and leave undertakers / relatives less room for air ambulance expenses. In such cases, commercial transfers with significantly less costs may benefit all parties.
Whatever options are considered, Remed Assistance provides a service that is always focussed on best medical quality, safety and security.
