What does repatriation really mean to patients in the air and medical field? Repatriation is the transfer of a person to their country of origin. While the term could refer to any person regardless of the health status, repatriation is often a euphemism for the shipping of a body back to the person’s home country for burial.
Last year, a home-sick cancer-stricken OFW (Overseas Filipino Worker) has undergone repatriation. The patient wants to go home from Taipei last December to be with his family in the special holiday. He is in a Nasogastric Tube (NG tube). NG is a tube that is passed through the nose and down through the nasopharynx and esophagus into the stomach. Flying commercial towards home in this condition makes his journey very uncomfortable. It is nearly impossible with the many medical clearances he has to provide the commercial airline.
Airgurus provide the patient in his best interest and on time, a medically equipped private plane from Taipei to home in Negros Occidental.
The number one air ambulance provider and repatriation provider, Airgurus Ltd. Co., repatriates hundreds of sick and injured patient each year to and from Manila. Its’ 24/7 alert center receives assistance requests and begins to get details about the patient and his/her situation. Our medical experts then make a decision based on the patient’s hospital records or doctor’s medical reports. Assessment is done for the medical team to know how to treat the patient properly. Also the care of the patient’s location and access to ground assistance comes to mind.
