When time
is the only variable that counts.
This page is written differently from the others. No clever lines: if you are here, you are probably looking for information for someone you love, and you need to know what can be done, and how quickly.
Three situations, three different answers.
Hospital-to-hospital transfer
From a local hospital to a specialist centre, in Italy or abroad, and back again. This is the most common case: a department that hospital doesn't have, an operation performed elsewhere, a second opinion you need to reach. It applies to Sardinia as much as to any other region that is difficult to get out of.
- Ground ambulance from hospital to airport, at both ends
- Aircraft equipped with a stretcher and medical equipment
- Doctor and nurse on board, according to the clinical picture
Medical repatriation
For someone who has fallen ill or been injured abroad and needs to come home. It can be arranged from any country, in coordination with the hospital treating them and with the insurer, where there is one.
- Fitness to fly confirmed with the treating physician
- Documentation, overflight permits and customs formalities
- One family member on board, where space and conditions allow
Cases that need more
Some situations are not solved by a stretcher alone, and belong in the hands of people who deal with them every day.
- Neonatal and paediatric transport, with incubator and specialists
- Patients in isolation, with a rigid-shell capsule
- Intensive care in flight, with ventilation and continuous monitoring
Four steps,
and the first one is a message.
You tell us the situation
Where the patient is, in which hospital, and where they need to get to. You do not need the medical terms: the name of the hospital and a contact in the ward are enough.
The doctors speak to each other
The medical operator's doctor contacts the team treating the patient and establishes whether they can be moved, with which crew and with which equipment. That part is not ours to decide, and no salesperson decides it either.
You receive the plan and the cost
In writing: aircraft, medical crew, ambulances at both ends, timings, permits. If an insurer or a health fund is involved, the document already comes in the form they ask for.
Departure
In urgent cases we fly the same day. For planned transfers, the time is chosen to suit the patient, not the aircraft.
Who does what, so you know whom to ask
We find the right medical aircraft, line it up with the ward's timings and stay on the phone until the patient has arrived. Clinical decisions are made by the medical operator's doctor, who speaks directly with whoever has the patient in their care: it is the only way to get them right, and no salesperson gets a say.
They fly with their own medical crews and their own certifications, and the clinical side is theirs to answer for: which is exactly what you want when the person on the stretcher is someone you love.
What we add is the part that weighs more than it seems at a moment like this: one person who follows the case from start to finish, who knows how hospitals actually work, and who handles the ambulances at both ends, the permits and the timings while you think about more important things.
Write what you know right now.
We ask for the rest.
Received
If you need us, write.
There is no form for this service. A medical transport request is assessed by talking, not by ticking boxes. Write to info@sardiniaprivatejet.com with «medical» in the subject line: we reply as soon as we read it and, if it helps, we speak on the phone right away.
