Hospital and Healthcare Partnerships
Worldwide patient transfers supported by direct clinical and operational coordination.
ESAT works closely with hospitals, healthcare providers, insurers and assistance companies to coordinate safe international patient movement.
Our team can support both sending and receiving organisations, helping clinical teams exchange relevant information and align the transport plan with the patient’s current condition and destination requirements.
We coordinate point-to-point transfers worldwide using private air ambulance, commercial medical escort, stretcher arrangements and specialist ground transport according to clinical need.
A single operations team manages communication, aviation or airline planning, ambulances, documentation and the final handover, giving professional partners a clear point of contact throughout.
