From Germany we organise medical repatriation from A to Z: ambulance transport, medical escort and full coordination within Europe and internationally.
We support patients and families throughout the entire medical repatriation process from Germany, including medical coordination, ambulance transport and international transfers.
The capital of Germany is Berlin. Frankfurt Airport (FRA) and Munich Airport (MUC) are generally used for medical flights, depending on the exact location and destination.
When a patient needs to travel abroad from Germany for further treatment, recovery, family support or a return to their place of residence, medically appropriate transport arrangements are essential.
Private transport or a regular scheduled flight is not suitable for every patient. Depending on the situation, professional medical assistance may be required, sometimes transport lying down by ambulance, and in urgent or complex cases an air ambulance.
For medical repatriation from Germany to destinations within Europe and beyond, Bryan Morgan Care supports patients and families with one dedicated point of contact, from the initial contact through to arrival at the destination.
When a patient cannot travel independently or safely from Germany, medical transport abroad may be necessary — for a planned transfer, a return to their country of residence or an urgent medical transfer.
This often concerns patients with limited mobility, a recent hospital admission, a need for oxygen, pain when sitting, a need for monitoring or further treatment abroad. We assess each case to determine which form of transport is medically responsible, practically feasible and safe.
Transport alone is not enough for a medical transfer abroad. Medical stability, documents, handover, timing, destination and any required airline approval must also be taken into account.
We assist with choosing the form of transport, liaising with doctors and hospitals, preparing the medical handover, fit-to-fly documents, ambulance transport in Germany and, where necessary, onward transport after arrival.
This saves the family from having to contact different parties themselves and keeps the entire case organised.
The situations below, anonymised and partly originating in Germany, show how diverse medical repatriation can be: from palliative journeys to ICU transport, medical escort and complex ambulance planning.
After suffering a heart attack during a stay in Germany, the patient was escorted by a nurse on a regular scheduled flight home following stabilisation and fit-to-fly approval, with continuous monitoring during the flight.
After a cycling accident in Germany, the patient had multiple injuries and was unable to travel independently. Ambulance transport with medical assistance took the patient to the airport, after which a scheduled flight with a stretcher position completed the journey home.
A 26-year-old palliative patient urgently needed to be transported from London to Petrich in Bulgaria to die at home with family. The situation was highly time-sensitive and could deteriorate at any moment. Transport was organised by road as quickly as possible, focusing on comfort, medical monitoring and a dignified arrival.
An elderly patient with advanced cancer, a ruptured tumour and a risk of bleeding needed 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 the handover on arrival.
Without travel insurance or insurer involvement, you can still contact Bryan Morgan Care directly.
We assess the medical situation, provide clear advice and, upon request, prepare a non-binding quotation. If an insurer or assistance partner is involved, we can also support that communication.
Germany extends from the Belgian border to the Baltic Sea and the Alps. A road ambulance may be assessed differently from Aachen, Cologne or Düsseldorf than from Hamburg, Berlin or Munich. The postcode, hospital entrance and Belgian destination are therefore essential.
North Rhine-Westphalia is relatively close, but urban traffic and hospital campuses require a margin. A direct ambulance may avoid airport transfers when the patient’s condition and required level of care allow this.
Hamburg and Berlin involve longer routes, more crew planning and possibly a comparison with air transport. Waiting, boarding and the onward transfer in Belgium also count, in addition to the cabin phase.
Munich, Baden-Württemberg and Bavaria can be affected by winter weather, tunnels and traffic corridors. Oxygen, medication and staff reserves are not calculated solely on the basis of ideal driving time.
Request the Arztbrief, medication list, mobility details and relevant images. In an acute emergency, call 112; repatriation only begins after local stabilisation and a separate transport assessment.
Yes. We organise medical repatriation and medical transport from Germany to destinations within Europe and beyond.
Depending on the medical situation, this may be by ambulance transport, escorted scheduled flight, stretcher flight or air ambulance.
This depends on the patient’s health, mobility, destination and urgency.
Based on the medical information, we assess whether ambulance transport, an escorted scheduled flight, stretcher flight or air ambulance is safest.
Yes. We support medical coordination, handover and communication with hospitals, doctors, family, insurers and assistance partners.
This keeps the entire process organised and means the family does not have to contact different parties themselves.
This depends on the exact location, destination and medical condition. Usually, this involves Frankfurt Airport (FRA), Munich Airport (MUC) or Berlin Brandenburg Airport (BER), depending on availability and route.
EU membership mainly regulates access to necessary care during your stay (for example via the European Health Insurance Card), but it does not cover organised repatriation. Separate planning remains necessary for a safe return to Belgium or the Netherlands.
Yes. We support medical repatriation from throughout Germany, with specific attention to 34 regions, cities and tourist areas, each with their own distances, airports and healthcare infrastructure.
Yes. Even without insurance, you can contact Bryan Morgan Care directly.
We provide advice, assess the medical situation and can prepare a non-binding quotation.
We are also active outside Germany. Below you will find some of the countries for which we regularly organise medical repatriation.
