🛏️ 1. Stretcher Transfer Service


✈️ What Does It Mean?

Stretcher transfer is a system that allows patients to travel in a lying position inside the aircraft, accompanied by special medical support and equipment. Some seats on the plane are removed to accommodate a professional stretcher. The patient remains under medical observation from takeoff to landing.

This service is ideal for:

  • Patients unsuitable for long flights after surgery

  • Those for whom a lying position is mandatory

  • Cases requiring transfer after a heart attack, stroke, or trauma

  • Patients with stable critical health conditions

We provide a comprehensive range of medical equipment, including:

  • Medical stretcher systems

  • Oxygen tanks and respiratory support

  • Emergency medication kits and infusion systems
