Professionally guided medical repatriation from Selfoss — ambulance transport, stretcher flights, air ambulance and full bed-to-bed coordination to Belgium, the Netherlands and international destinations.
As soon as a medical situation arises in Selfoss, speed and clarity are what matter most. Bryan Morgan Care coordinates the entire process from Selfoss: medical assessment, choice of transport, ambulance transport, medical escort or air ambulance, through to safe arrival at the final destination.
There is no fixed package that suits everyone. We assess each time what the patient needs: mobility, pain experience, oxygen requirements, any recent procedure, infection risk and the fit-to-fly assessment. These factors, together with the distance to an airport and the arrangements upon arrival, determine the final choice.
When a medical situation arises in Selfoss, we discuss three options with the treating doctors: continued care locally, referral within Iceland, or an organised return to Belgium or the Netherlands.
We ensure that families quickly gain an overview of the necessary medical information, feasible routes, appropriate level of transport and how everything can be initiated without unnecessary delay.
For medical repatriation from Selfoss, we consider the entire route: place of residence or hospital, local ambulance stage, ferry or airport options, medical documents, mode of transport and arrangements upon arrival.
Depending on the medical condition, we choose ambulance transport, medical escort on a commercial flight, a stretcher flight or an air ambulance.
Repatriation is about ensuring that a patient returns safely and in a medically responsible manner to their home, a hospital or a rehabilitation centre. In addition to the distance, comfort, mobility, pain, oxygen requirements, medical handover and practical feasibility are also taken into account.
Not every situation requires a flight. Ambulance transport is a safe option for transfers within Iceland, journeys to an airport, transfers between hospitals, and sometimes even for a return to Belgium or the Netherlands when the distance remains medically appropriate.
Depending on the medical condition, we arrange suitable transport with nursing, paramedic or specialised medical support, including transport in a lying position, oxygen, monitoring and a proper handover to the receiving healthcare facility where necessary.
For patients who are stable enough, a commercial flight with medical support is often an efficient and affordable option. From Selfoss, we determine together with you which international airport is most suitable.
For departures from Selfoss, the choice is generally Keflavík International Airport (KEF), depending on availability and the planned route. The choice of airport is also determined by availability, medical clearance, flight duration, connections and the destination. Where necessary, we also arrange assistance, medical documents, escorts and connecting ambulance transport.
In a critical, unstable or highly time-sensitive case, a dedicated air ambulance is sometimes the only safe option — for example in the case of ICU care, ventilation, severe trauma, neurological problems or complex infections.
For every air ambulance flight, we coordinate the team, equipment, route and timing according to the medical urgency, as well as the ambulances at departure and arrival and the handover at the receiving hospital.
If sitting upright for a long period is not an option, but an ambulance jet is not strictly necessary, a stretcher space on a commercial flight often provides a solution — lying down, under supervision, and always subject to prior approval by the airline.
A stretcher flight requires more preparation than a regular flight: medical forms, airline approval, planning of the lying-down section, an escort team, ambulance transport to the airport and arrangements upon arrival.
Flying or travelling for a long time is not automatically safe after surgery. Pain, risk of thrombosis, oxygen requirements, wound care, infection risk, immobility and possible complications together determine whether this is possible.
We assist with collecting medical information, consulting the treating doctors and choosing a safe route — sometimes an escort on a commercial flight is sufficient, while in other cases transport in a lying position, additional oxygen, a stretcher flight or an air ambulance is necessary.
We professionally guide every step, from the first contact to safe arrival. The exact arrangements depend on the medical situation, the destination and the chosen mode of transport.
After your first contact, we quickly establish the most important medical and practical details.
We assess the condition, mobility, pain level, oxygen requirements and available documents.
We present you with a realistic proposal including a suitable transport option and a clear cost estimate.
As soon as you agree, we arrange the transport, medical support, documents and handover.
From departure to the destination — home, hospital or rehabilitation centre — the patient remains accompanied.
The examples below have been anonymised, but are based on the practice of international medical repatriation, including in Iceland itself. They show how different a case can be: from a palliative journey to ICU transport, medical escort, MICU or complex stretcher and ambulance planning.
After suffering a stroke during a stay in Iceland, 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.
During a stay in Iceland, a patient developed acute kidney problems requiring dialysis. After consultation with the treating nephrologist, a transfer was arranged to a centre closer to home, with medical support and the necessary equipment en route.
After an epileptic seizure during a stay in Iceland, the family wanted the patient to be followed up by their regular neurologist at home as soon as possible. After medical stabilisation, a commercial flight with nursing support was arranged.
A patient with advanced illness had to be taken to a hospital in Portugal to spend the final phase there. Due to oxygen requirements and limited reserve, this was an extremely vulnerable journey. The journey was made by road with oxygen provision, monitoring, medical support and constant assessment en route.
An elderly patient with a hip fracture after a fall during a winter sports holiday could not sit upright for a long period. A stretcher space on a commercial flight was chosen, with prior approval from the airline and connecting ambulance transport to and from the airport.
Some cases are handled through travel insurance, a mutual health fund, an assistance company or an employer. Other families have to organise the repatriation themselves. Even without insurance, you can contact us directly for advice and a clear quotation where possible.
We communicate clearly about the options, limitations, timing and expected costs. The aim is not the most expensive means of transport, but the solution that is medically safe and practically feasible.
Bryan Morgan Care does not operate like an anonymous lead-generation website, but as an operational medical transport organisation, with experience in international repatriation, ambulance transport, medical escorts, stretcher journeys and complex patient transfers.
You speak with people who understand medical transport, can assess cases and organise practical steps. This makes a difference when families need clarity quickly.
A patient is admitted to a hospital in or near Selfoss. We request medical information, assess the condition, consult with doctors and develop one or more options. The goal remains the same each time: safe bed-to-bed transfer.
For a stable patient, this may be a commercial flight with medical support. With limited mobility, a stretcher flight or ambulance transport may be more suitable. In serious or unstable situations, an air ambulance may be necessary.
Even without approval from an insurer, Bryan Morgan Care is ready to think along with you directly about a safe solution from Selfoss.
Usually, yes. We first assess the medical condition and then choose the most suitable form: ambulance transport, an escorted commercial flight, stretcher transport or an air ambulance.
Yes. Even without insurance, you can contact us directly for advice and a clear quotation where possible.
Yes, this is a standard part of our approach: discharge planning, medical handover and coordination with doctors, family and receiving healthcare facilities.
That depends on the distance and the medical condition. For some journeys from Iceland to Belgium, the Netherlands or neighbouring countries, a medically escorted ambulance journey can be organised practically; for longer distances, we will consider a medical flight with you.
The choice depends on the location, destination and medical condition — Keflavík International Airport (KEF) is generally considered.
Medically, little changes. Practical matters, such as border formalities or arrangements with an insurer, may proceed slightly differently than within the EU — we take this into account when planning.
We always take the wider region around Selfoss into consideration — a nearby hospital, airport or border route is sometimes more practical than the most obvious alternative.
In addition to Selfoss, visitors often also look at other places in Iceland, such as Höfuðborgarsvæðið, Norðurland eystra, Norðurland vestra, Austurland, Vestfirðir, Vesturland, Suðurnes, Suðurland. The connection is logical due to distance, available hospital care, airport routes or ambulance transport in the surrounding region.
Together, this forms a clear network for medical repatriation, ambulance transport, medical flights, stretcher transport and bed-to-bed support throughout Iceland.
Medical repatriation is not limited to Selfoss: we also support cases from countries including Switzerland, Italy, Spain, Austria, the United Kingdom and Poland. Practical details such as airports, distances and healthcare structures vary by country, even though the medical principles remain the same.
