General Information

Air ambulances are crucial for patients requiring immediate medical attention. In life-or-death situations where time is of the essence, air ambulances provide swift transport needed to reach the hospital for urgent treatment.

A Medif is a confidential airline form used to get medical clearance for a patient to fly. Ashoka Rescue's doctors coordinate with the patient's attending physician to provide details about the patient's status, maintenance, and travel needs, enabling the airline's medical department to assess and grant travel clearance.

A commercial air ambulance stretcher is assembled on a commercial airline with oxygen and medical equipment. Patients travel assisted by medical escort doctors and nurses. To book, call our hotline at +91-9810364143 or email ashokarescue@gmail.com with the patient's medical summary.

An air ambulance can be arranged within 24 hours and has no oxygen limitations, but is significantly more expensive. A commercial stretcher takes 4-5 working days for airline approval, has an oxygen limit of 5 litres per minute, but is a much more cost-effective option.

In a charter air ambulance, two patient family members can typically accompany the patient. Ashoka Rescue also provides a medical crew consisting of two medical members (doctors, nurses, or paramedics) and two pilots.

Ashoka Rescue provides reliable, economical international medical escort services to and from India. Our team includes qualified flight doctors and nurses who assist patients on commercial flights worldwide with minimum documentation and high-standard care.

Bed-to-bed service means transporting a patient seamlessly from their current hospital bed to their destination bed (e.g., from Vancouver, Canada to New Delhi, India). This involves coordinating ground ambulances, air ambulances, or commercial stretchers to ensure a continuous chain of care.
