Patient Transports

When a patient needs to reach another medical facility or return to their home country for further treatment, we arrange transfer services. Usually with Air Ambulance flights or scheduled commercial flights with medical escort or team. Our Finnish- and English-speaking staff, with years of experience and specialised training, are well-equipped to handle even the most demanding patient transfers. Our patients range from newborns to the elderly, and we cover a wide spectrum of treated illnesses, from accidents to complex medical cases requiring intensive care.

PATIENT TRANSPORTS

On Commercial Flights

1–2 nurses or a nurse and a doctor team usually accompany the patient. We take care of all necessary arrangements, such as wheelchair assistance, in-flight oxygen, general patient monitoring, and, if necessary, medical treatment. Some commercial flights allow patients to be transported on a stretcher in a lying position. On long-haul flights, we utilise business-class seats that can be reclined into a lie-flat position. Medical escorts are ready to intervene if there is any need for medical assistance or care during the flight. Atmosphere and air pressure differ from our normal everyday environment. Our medical crew is trained to work and provide quality care on the aircraft and other special environments.

PATIENT TRANSPORT

Air Ambulance

For Air Ambulance service we use a specially modified private aircrafts. The aircraft is equipped with stretchers, additional oxygen, and other medical equipment and devices required for the air ambulance mission. Our critical care doctors and nurses ensure the patient’s well-being during the journey and perform necessary medical procedures. In our “flying intensive care unit,” we transfer even severely ill and unstable patients, including those requiring ECMO treatment.
