Air Ambulance Transport
SOS Doctors arrange patient transfers within Greece using specially equipped airplanes or helicopters, accompanied by a doctor and/or nurse.
Call 1016 – 24/7
With just one call to our 24/7 coordination center (1016), all necessary procedures begin for an immediate and safe air ambulance transfer anywhere in Greece.
Coordination with Healthcare Facilities
SOS Doctors communicate directly with the hospital/clinic where the patient is hospitalized.
A necessary condition for the air transfer is the completion of the required documents confirming that the patient is fit to travel by airplane, along with any special requirements (fit-to-fly documents).
The patient’s safety and proper transfer standards are our number one priority. The SOS Doctor assigned to the transfer remains in constant communication with the attending physician.
Bed-to-Bed Service
A ground ambulance collects the patient directly from the hospital bed and delivers them to the aircraft crew. After the air transfer, another ambulance takes the patient to the destination hospital. This bed-to-bed service ensures minimal inconvenience and maximum safety during the entire process.
Υπερσύγχρονα αεροσκάφη – εξοπλισμός
Our airplanes are specially configured for medical air transport and certified by the Civil Aviation Authority. They are fully equipped with the latest state-of-the-art medical equipment to ensure safe patient transfer: monitors, defibrillators, oxygen tanks, and ventilators.
Experienced, Specialized Personnel
Air ambulance transfers are carried out by specially trained and highly experienced SOS Doctors or nurses.
Medical Escort of Patients
SOS Doctors also provide medical escort services for patients traveling abroad on commercial flights.
With a simple call to 1016, available 24/7, a medical escort is arranged, and a specialized SOS Doctor remains at the patient’s side throughout the journey.
Before undertaking the medical escort, SOS Doctors consult with the attending physician to determine whether the patient is fit to travel and under what conditions (fit-to-fly documents).
The escorting doctor carries the necessary equipment to handle emergency situations: ECG, intubation equipment, and defibrillator.
The experience of SOS Doctors guarantees the patient’s safety during the entire trip.
