Medical Evacuation
Medical evacuation may be the last resort at times of distress, either when there is no qualified doctor available in the area or during a tragedy or accident when the seriously injured patients need to be transferred immediately to a hospital. In most such cases, air route is the preferred one due to the time saved in transporting the patient or injured to the nearest doctor or hospital. Usually air ambulances are pressed into service in cases requiring immediate medical evacuation. However, the services of private air ambulance can be a costly affair, particularly when the insurance policy of the patient does not cover such expenses.
