medical repatriation

Medical repatriation is the process of safely returning a patient to their home country or a preferred healthcare facility after receiving treatment abroad or when transferring between locations due to health reasons. This can involve specialized transportation such as air ambulances equipped to handle medical needs, ensuring the patient remains stable and receives necessary care during transit. Repatriation is often arranged by insurance companies, hospitals, or specialized services, and it aims to provide continuity of care and comfort by returning patients to familiar environments or specialized facilities suited to their recovery.
