Repatriation / Belgium

Repatriation
from Belgium

Professional medical repatriations from Belgium within Europe and internationally, including ambulance transport, medical escort and full coordination.

Medical repatriation from Belgium: our approach

We guide patients and families from Belgium through the entire repatriation process, including medical coordination, ambulance transport and international transfers.

The capital of Belgium is Brussels. Medical flights generally use Brussels Airport (BRU) and Brussels South Charleroi Airport (CRL), depending on the exact location and destination.

Safe medical transport from Belgium abroad

Sometimes a patient needs to travel from Belgium abroad for further treatment, recovery, family support or a return home. In such cases, medically appropriate transport is particularly important.

Not every patient benefits from private transport or a regular scheduled flight. Professional medical assistance, stretcher ambulance transport or, in urgent cases, an air ambulance can provide the solution.

We assist patients and families with medical repatriation from Belgium to destinations within and outside Europe, with one point of contact throughout the entire journey, from the initial contact to arrival.

When is medical transport from Belgium required?

A planned transfer, a return to the country of residence or an urgent medical transfer: whenever a patient in Belgium cannot travel independently or safely, medical transport may be necessary.

Limited mobility, a recent hospital admission, the need for oxygen, pain when sitting, the need for monitoring or further treatment abroad are common situations. For each case, we assess which form of transport is medically responsible, feasible and safe.

Your transport options from Belgium

🚑

Ambulance transport

From Belgium, we provide national and international ambulance transport with medical assistance and bed-to-bed transport.

✈️

Accompanied scheduled flight

If the patient is stable enough to travel seated, we provide medical assistance on a regular scheduled flight.

🛏️

Stretcher flight

For patients who cannot sit but are stable enough to travel lying down on a scheduled flight.

🛩️

Air Ambulance

Fast medical repatriation via a specialised medical flight in urgent or complex medical situations.

🏥

Bed-to-bed service

We organise the entire journey: the departure address or hospital in Belgium, transport, medical handover and arrival at the destination.

📄

Full coordination

We support contact with doctors, hospitals, family members, insurers and assistance partners.

The entire journey in our hands

Medical travel abroad requires more than transport alone: stability, documents, handover, timing, destination and any airline approval all play a role.

We can advise on the appropriate form of transport, contact doctors and hospitals, prepare the medical handover, support fit-to-fly documentation, arrange ambulance transport in Belgium and, if necessary, coordinate transport after arrival abroad.

This saves the family from having to contact various parties themselves and keeps the entire case organised.

Some situations from our cases in Belgium

Below are anonymised situations from our practice, with examples from Belgium and the wider region. They show how different cases can be: palliative journeys, ICU transport, medical escorts, stretcher solutions and complex ambulance planning.

Case 1

Medical assistance for pneumonia in Belgium

A patient with severe pneumonia during a stay in Belgium required continuous oxygen administration and monitoring. After medical stabilisation, a scheduled flight with nursing assistance was arranged, including oxygen provision on board.

Case 2

Repatriation after a stroke during a stay in Belgium

After suffering a stroke during a stay in Belgium, intensive medical monitoring was necessary throughout the entire journey home. A carefully planned air ambulance with continuous monitoring and a specialised medical team was chosen.

Case 3

Dying patient from Paris to Copenhagen

An elderly patient with advanced cancer, a ruptured tumour and a risk of bleeding had to be transported from Paris to Copenhagen. Flying was not medically advisable. The journey was planned by road with medical assistance, comfort care, risk assessment and clear arrangements for handover on arrival.

Case 4

Complex ambulance planning from a Greek island

For a patient on a Greek island with limited medical infrastructure, transport to the mainland first had to be arranged before the actual repatriation could begin. The planning combined local ambulance transport, a short flight to Athens and then a scheduled flight with medical assistance home.
