Medical Repatriation between Togo and France
A medical emergency during a trip or an assignment in Togo, or the transfer of a patient to a better-equipped French hospital: we organize the medical transport end to end.
Togo and France are linked by family, academic and economic ties. Lomé, a port and business hub on the Gulf of Guinea, receives business travelers, expatriate employees and many families visiting relatives. Repatriations concern accidents or acute illness during a stay or an assignment, and transfers to French hospitals when the specialty or the intensive care required is not available locally.
Our coordinating physician assesses each case together with the on-site medical team to determine the equipment required and the transport mode best suited to the patient's condition.

Formalities & coordination
A repatriation from Togo involves overflight and landing clearances for the air ambulance, handling at Lomé and customs coordination for the medical equipment on board, together with a medically equipped ground transfer between the hospital and the airport. These steps are anticipated from the opening of the case, with the treating hospital and the patient's insurer or assistance company.
Our team can work directly with the patient's insurer or assistance company to arrange fast coverage — see our dedicated page for insurers and assistance companies.
Customs and consular formalities vary case by case and change over time. Our team confirms the exact documents required from the first contact.

Common questions about this route
In many cases, yes, depending on the aircraft, the patient's condition and the entry documents required. Tell us when you request the quote and send the relative's identity documents early, so that the seat and the formalities are arranged in advance.
Given the long distance, a long-range jet is generally required, with a technical stop depending on the aircraft and the route — our coordinating physician determines the most suitable aircraft and the medical equipment on board.
