Medical Escort
Medical Escort
AttoHealth provides global medical escort. The “door to door” or “bed to bed” medical service are handled by our flight- doctors.
Air Ambulance Service
Air ambulance service is the fastest method of transporting critically ill patients from one facility to another. All planes are equipped with life support equipment to meet the critical care needs of the patient.
Medical Escort Via Air
Medical escort via commercial flights is a cost-effective alternative when a patient is capable of sitting up during take-off and landing. The patient is accompanied throughout the trip by at least one member of our medical team. This includes care during the medical flight and any necessary transport by ground ambulance.
Medical Escort Via Rail
This can be a money-saving option when time is not a critical issue, but the patient’s condition requires him/her to be lying down. Patients are accompanied by members of our medical team and travel in a sleeper car of an Amtrak train.
Long Distance Ground Ambulance
This is a logical choice for non-critical patients whose medical transport requires less than 24 hours of driving time and/or a distance of 1500 miles or under.
