Medical Evacuation
What is Medical Evacuation?
Medical evacuation, often abbreviated as “MEDEVAC”, is the timely and efficient transport with expert en-route medical care, of a patient being moved to a suitable medical facility for treatment, using medically equipped vehicles (road ambulances or air ambulances).
When do you need Medical Evacuation?
- When the available medical services cannot provide the treatment required
- When the patient’s conditions preclude him from using regular road or airline transportation
- When time lost may mean increased morbidity or mortality…
