Medical Repatriation between the UAE and France
An accident or medical emergency during a business or leisure trip to Dubai or Abu Dhabi: we organize a medically escorted return to France, with the discretion our clients expect.
The United Arab Emirates, and Dubai in particular, are a major destination for French business and leisure travelers, as well as a connecting hub to Asia. Repatriations involve both accidents or medical emergencies during a trip and transfers requiring discreet handling, in keeping with Ambulance Flight's premium positioning as part of the Jet-VIP group.
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.
