Whenever the patient's welfare calls for his transfer abroad, following medical opinion that obligates this move, our organization takes care of all the necessary arrangements, to ensure his safe transportation to the desired destination. This help includes coordinating his appointment abroad, arranging for a host family, translation, flight arrangements that include lending a complete mobile I.C. kit and installing it on the plane's seats, transporting the patient in an ambulance to the plane and from the plane abroad, etc.
This I.C. kit is one of its kind in Israel, and includes all the necessary equipment for transporting patients in almost any condition.
This special service is also available for people who were "stuck" abroad due to sudden illness or injury, which necessitates their being flown back under medical surveillance.
Hundreds of patients are making use of this service every year. Among those who turn to us for help are also the Ministry of Defence, hospitals and the Sick Funds insurance companies.
