General Information
Air ambulances are crucial for patients requiring immediate medical attention. In these life-or-death situations,
time is of the essence, and air ambulances provide the swift transport needed to reach the hospital for urgent
treatment.
Every airline has specific criteria for granting permission to take a patient on board, so we relay all details
about medical travel on the airline's printed form (Medif) to get the medical clearance.
Our traveling doctors coordinate with the patient's attending doctor to fill out an airline's medical information
form (Medif). That provides CONFIDENTIAL information, including all the necessary details about the
patient's status, maintenance, and travel, enabling the airline's MEDICAL Department to assess and give the
travel clearance for the flight.
Once a Medif is submitted and cleared, based on the patient's requirements, a commercial air ambulance
stretcher is assembled in coordination with our team on a commercial airline with oxygen. Patients can then
travel on this stretcher while being assisted by our medical escort doctors, nurses, and medical equipment. To
book your stretcher, call our direct hotline +91-9810364143 or email your queries to info@ashokarescue.com.
Our representatives will contact you and assist you with your query or booking as soon as possible. We
request that you send the patient's medical summary directly to our mail to book your request immediately.
It is a common question the patient or the patient's family asks. Yes, there is a big difference in cost and
availability and quickness of these two services. One can book an air ambulance, which can be arranged in 24
hours, while a commercial stretcher takes 4 to 5 working days, subject to airline approval. Furthermore on a
commercial stretcher there is a limitation of oxygen as no more than 5 litre per minute can be provided by the
airlines throughout the journey, whereas Air ambulance time and oxygen limitation is not the barrier but there
is huge cost differences makes air ambulance much more expensive. To know more, check out the website's
