    Medical Repatriation Guide for Families and Insurers

    Medical repatriation brings a patient home after illness, injury, accident or hospitalisation abroad. This guide explains what families and insurers should expect.

    What 'bed-to-bed' actually means

    Bed-to-bed continuity covers the sending hospital, ground transport to the aircraft, in-flight clinical care, ground transport at the destination and structured handover to the receiving facility, managed as one continuous mission.

    Insurance and assistance workflows

    Most international travel and corporate insurance policies cover medical repatriation. Aviall integrates with insurer and assistance company workflows, providing structured quoting, reporting and case-managed coordination.

    Family considerations

    Family members can often travel with the patient subject to aircraft capacity and clinical considerations. Discreet, considered communication is provided throughout, day or night, regardless of timezone.

    Documentation and clinical handover

    Aviall manages clinical documentation transfer, fitness-to-fly clearance, accompanying medication and equipment continuity, and the receiving-facility handover.

    What good looks like

    Calm coordination, clear updates, predictable cost, on-time mobilisation and a structured handover that leaves the patient in safe clinical hands.
