Air ambulance and medical evacuation.

For critically ill patients who cannot be transferred any other way: we coordinate the medical flight to Lima or to their place of origin, with their insurer.

The service

When there is no other way to move the patient

The air ambulance is the fastest way to transfer critically ill patients. It is reserved for those whose condition is too serious to be transferred any other way.

Equipped jets

Each jet is fully equipped for the patient's needs and to look after their companions.

Coordination with the insurer

We handle the arrangements with the insurer or travel assistance company, from start to finish.

To Lima or their place of origin

To Lima, where complex cases are handled, or to the patient's place of origin.

When to request it

When is an air medical evacuation needed?

  • When the patient's condition doesn't allow a ground transfer.
  • When a patient in Cusco, Puno or another city needs high-complexity care in Lima.
  • When the insurer arranges the patient's return to their place of origin.

Need an evacuation?

Call us 24 hours a day, with bilingual staff. We coordinate the transfer with the insurer.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

Can you transfer the patient to their home country?

We coordinate with the insurer to transfer the patient to Lima or to their place of origin.

Can a companion travel with the patient?

The jet is equipped to look after the patient's companions too. When we arrange the transfer, we confirm how many people can travel.

Does my insurance cover the evacuation?

It depends on the policy. The evacuation is coordinated with the insurer or travel assistance company: we handle that for you.

How is it different from a medical escort?

Air medical evacuation is for critically ill patients, in an equipped jet. A medical escort is for stable patients who can travel on a commercial flight with a health professional by their side.

To arrange an evacuation

Have these details at hand when you call us.

  • Where the patient is and where they need to go.
  • How the patient is and what happened.
  • The patient's passport or ID card.
  • The policy or travel assistance details.
  • The medical report, if you have it.
