What is a medical repatriation ?

This is where, due to a medical condition a person needs a medical escort to accompany them home.

This could be a nurse, doctor on a commercial flight, or in even more difficult or complicated circumstances, a medical team on an air ambulance.

Whether it is a commercial or air ambulance repatriation fitness to fly will need to be confirmed for the patient before any flight can take place.

Also on commercial flight, medical clearance may be required.
