Repatriation / Greece

Repatriation
from Greece

Medical repatriation from Greece, professionally guided within Europe and beyond, with ambulance transport, medical escort and full coordination of the process.

Medical repatriation from Greece

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

The capital of Greece is Athens. Medical flights generally use Athens International Airport (ATH) and Thessaloniki Airport (SKG), depending on the exact location and destination.

Safe medical transport from Greece to other countries

Does a patient need to be transported from Greece to another country for further treatment, recovery, family support or return to their place of residence? It is then important to organise the transport correctly from a medical perspective.

Not every patient can simply travel by private transport or on a regular commercial flight. Sometimes professional medical assistance is required, sometimes transport lying down by ambulance, and in urgent or complex situations an air ambulance may be appropriate.

For medical repatriation from Greece 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.

In which situations is repatriation from Greece necessary?

If a patient in Greece cannot travel independently or safely, medical transport is necessary — for a planned transfer, return to their country of residence or an urgent medical transfer.

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

Transport options from Greece

🚑

Ambulance transport

National and international ambulance transport from Greece with medical assistance, also for longer distances and bed-to-bed transport.

✈️

Escorted commercial flight

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

🛏️

Stretcher flight

For patients who cannot sit but are stable enough to travel lying down, we arrange a stretcher position.

🛩️

Air Ambulance

For urgent or complex medical situations, we provide a specialised air ambulance.

🏥

Bed-to-bed service

From the departure address or hospital in Greece, through transport and medical handover, to arrival at the destination: we arrange the entire journey.

📄

Full coordination

Contact with doctors, hospitals, family, insurers and assistance partners: we support and coordinate everything in full.

We arrange the journey from A to Z

A medical transfer abroad involves more than just transport: medical stability, documents, handover, timing, destination and any approval from an airline all play a role.

We assist with choosing the form of transport, contact with doctors and hospitals, preparation of the medical handover, fit-to-fly documents, ambulance transport in Greece and, where necessary, onward transport after arrival.

This means that the family does not have to contact different parties themselves and the entire case remains clear and organised.

Anonymised case examples from Greece

The situations below, anonymised and partly originating from Greece, show how varied medical repatriation can be: from palliative journeys to ICU transport, medical escort and complex ambulance planning.

Case 1

Repatriation after a stroke during a stay in Greece

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

Case 2

Older patient with a fractured hip after a fall in Greece

An older patient fractured a hip after a fall during a stay in Greece. As prolonged sitting was not possible, a stretcher position on a commercial flight was selected, with ambulance transport to and from the airport.

Case 3

Palliative patient from London to Petrich

A 26-year-old palliative patient had to be transported urgently from London to Petrich in Bulgaria to be able 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, with a focus on comfort, medical monitoring and a dignified arrival.

Case 4

Ventilated patient to London

An older ventilated patient had to be transferred to London. Due to the need for ventilation, monitoring and a safe handover, this was not standard transport. The journey required specialised equipment, medical preparation, cross-border planning and coordination with the receiving care facility.

No insurance? We can still help

Do you not have travel insurance or an insurer? You can still contact Bryan Morgan Care directly.

We provide clear advice, assess the medical situation and, if desired, prepare a no-obligation quotation. If an insurer or assistance partner is involved, we can support communication.

Departure and care handover for Greece

The local transfer begins with a check of the actual pick-up point. For Greece, a plan is prepared within Greece that fits the type of country and the current care needs.

Access via hotel, home or hospital is checked before staff depart.

The route is selected based on medical continuity and not solely on ticket price or kilometres.

In the event of a delay, the Belgian ambulance or department is updated directly.

If the condition deteriorates, local reassessment takes priority over the planned departure.

Local mobility assistance and clinical support are planned as separate tasks. If the condition deteriorates, local reassessment takes priority over the planned departure.

A shorter distance is only beneficial if it does not cause additional unsafe transfers. The final kilometres are not planned as a separate taxi journey but as part of the care.

Final check before departure from Greece

The departure window remains flexible until the patient, documents and receiving care are truly ready.

In the event of an unexpected delay, it remains clear where the patient can wait safely and who will continue the care.
