Ambulances are broadly classified into air ambulance, ground ambulance, and water ambulance. Ambulance flights provide the highest revenue contribution in the ambulance market. Medical tourism in developing countries such as India has driven the growth of the ambulance segment.
If you become suddenly ill, seriously injured in India, or if you are from overseas in a similar situation, ICATT Air Ambulance Worldwide arranges for a safe and comfortable flight home. Our experienced pilots and caring medical staff are available at any time of the day or night.
Our various services are tailored to the needs of patients of all ages and types. Our air ambulances to or from India are reserved for patients whose injuries or illnesses require intensive medical care and do not allow them to fly commercially. We may also arrange stretchers or other medical equipment on international flights or provide medical escort for commercial flights for patients who are not in emergency medical care but need assistance.
Here are just a few of the things that how does an ICATT Air Ambulance work?
What is an air ambulance?
An air ambulance is a specially designed helicopter or aircraft equipped with specialized medical equipment, including medication, ventilators, EKG and monitoring equipment, CPR machines, and stretchers. These planes transport injured people or critical patients to the hospital for medical treatment. Ambulance jets are ordered when the patient is in a remote location or in an area that does not offer advanced medical care. The ICATT Air Ambulance is usually equipped with doctors, highly qualified paramedics and first aid. When ambulances are actively working with patients, air traffic controllers (ATCs) offer them specialized care. Some ambulances may also be medically unsuitable, and bodyguards only transport the patient from point A to point B.
ICATT Ambulance license in India:
ICATT has a licence from the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA), which is the licensing authority for regulations of emergency services such as air ambulance providers. Major hospitals are joining forces with airlines and governments to create better and more efficient emergency medical services in India.
