Working collaboratively with some of our trusted partners in the medevac/medical repatriation industry at Courageous Protection, and now with our own travel service, we have been able to put together an array of solutions to get people where they need to go regardless of their mobility and health challenges. We can get you door-to-door or bedside-to-bedside.

A recent logistically difficult mission we facilitated was arranging the transportation a young quadriplegic gentleman and his family from their hotel via private stretcher medical transportation, to a commercial airline business class seat to Thailand, where his family arranged private medical care. We became involved after speaking with the client who was simply going to book tickets on another travel site and show up at the airport, expecting that there would be no issue boarding. THIS IS NOT THE CASE.

Airlines have a Medical Division who review the files of passengers with medical or mobility needs. If you, or your family member have significant medical or mobility needs, medical clearance from the airline may be required. An airline may require the mobility challenged passenger to have a safety attendant, a medical professional as an escort or insist the passenger have a stretcher seat. Some medical devices are permitted, others may not be. Everyone has heard about the concerns of Litium Ion batteries and associated fire risks. While everyone knows the Flight Attendant's as being customer service oriented by serving drinks, snacks or meals, their primary role and focus is safety of the passengers. They will not take mobility challenged passengers to the washroom. We can assist you sort through these requirements.

With this case, we navigated the medical clearances, transportation logistics and ticketing. Despite the frustration of limited seat availability (Peak tourist season), delays in coordination between healthcare providers and medical clearance and a typhoon in Manila, we are happy to say they are in Thailand.
