Our ground

Repatriation in high‑risk areas

Bringing a patient back from Malaga or Lisbon, many can do that. Going to collect them from a remote site in the Sahel or in a city under tension is another job. It is the one we learned in uniform.

Military

More than 350 medical evacuations in uniform, on theatres of operations. Nine deployments. Mopti, Timbuktu, Gao, Niamey, Madama, Abéché. Also Senegal, Burkina Faso, Ivory Coast, the Central African Republic, Djibouti and Lebanon. Helicopter and aircraft, in degraded conditions and under security constraints.

Private sector

More than 40 patient transfers. For private security companies and remote industrial sites. Mali, Niger, Chad, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Rwanda.

Assistance companies

49 missions in 2024 and 2025, across 17 countries. From scheduled flights to the air ambulance. The documentary rigour of a French medical coordination centre, applied on difficult destinations too.

Every deployment remains subject to local clearances and to the security situation at the time. We tell you before committing to a date, not after. Missions carried out in uniform fall under national defence secrecy and are not detailed.

The transport assets

What we are used to

The choice of transport asset belongs to your medical control. Here are those on which a patient has already been entrusted to us, in civilian work as in uniform.

Hary on the tarmac, in front of the air ambulance — On the tarmac, in front of the air ambulance

In civilian work

Air ambulanceA private medical jet goes to collect the patient and brings them back, usually within the day. For intubated, ventilated and sedated patients, or when, from where the patient is, it is the simplest solution for the assistance company, logistically and financially.

Stretcher on a scheduled flightDepending on the aircraft, about 9 seats are folded down at the rear of the cabin and the stretcher is installed on top. The other passengers travel around it. For the patient who must stay lying down for the whole flight.

Extra seatAn additional seat booked in front of the patient, who rests their outstretched leg on it during the flight. For lower‑limb injuries.

Scheduled flightScheduled flight, usually in business class. The nurse travels next to the patient and monitors them throughout the journey. This is the most common repatriation.

Ambulance for the whole journeyThe whole journey is by road: no airport nearby, a patient whose condition does not allow them to fly, or a patient who no longer has the identity documents to board.

In uniform

HelicoptersNH90, Caracal, Puma

AircraftBeechcraft, CASA CN235, Transall C160, Hercules C130

Medical evacuation in tactical conditions, from the collection point through to Role 2. Packaging for a long flight, continuous monitoring in the hold as in the cabin.

What we take with us

We leave with our own bag

A nursing response bag checked item by item before every departure, sized to last several hours without resupply. We do not rely on the equipment of the transport asset.

MonitoringPulse oximeter, blood pressure monitor, capillary blood glucose meter, thermometer.

AirwayBag valve mask, airways, non‑rebreather mask, nasal cannulae and oxygen connectors.

Venous accessCannulae in several gauges, giving sets, three‑way taps, fluids for resuscitation.

Haemostasis and dressingsTourniquet, sterile gauze, support bandages, pressure and occlusive dressings.

Hygiene and protectionSterile and non‑sterile gloves, antiseptics, sharps container, clinical waste disposal.

The medicines for the mission are prescribed and supplied by your controlling physician. We administer them on his prescription and report on them in writing. We do not build a drug stock of our own accord.

Who it is for

Two situations, two answers

We work for assistance companies and employers, never directly for private individuals.

An escort, quickly

Insurers and assistance companies

You have the case, the transport asset and the budget. What you are missing is a state‑registered nurse free on the date, able to leave quickly and to give you a clean written report.

State‑registered nurse, qualifications up to date, supporting documents sent before the mission
Deployable anywhere, including destinations classed as high‑risk
Used to the procedures and documentary requirements of medical coordination centres
Departure from Marseille at short notice, as a pair with your physician if needed
Written report handed over within 24 hours of arrival

An employee has to come home

Companies and NGOs

Your employee is in hospital abroad. Your insurer or your assistance company runs the case, but a nurse is needed to escort the patient on the journey, and sometimes into a country where nobody wants to go.

We fit into the case set up by your assistance company
High‑risk areas as well as standard destinations, several continents

From your call to the handover

How a mission runs

Five steps, always the same. You keep control of medical regulation and logistics, we take care of the patient.
