Accessibility and starting point
The distance between residence, hospital, airport, port or coastal location often determines the first step.
Canary Islands
Medical repatriation from Canary Islands
A medical situation in Canary Islands can quickly become complex. A patient may need to return to Belgium or the Netherlands, to a specialist hospital, home or rehabilitation centre. Bryan Morgan Care organises medical repatriation from Canary Islands with ambulance transport, medical escort on a scheduled flight, stretcher flight, air ambulance and full bed-to-bed coordination.
We do not start from a standard package, but from the patient's medical condition. Mobility, pain, oxygen requirements, recent surgery, risk of infection, fit-to-fly assessment, distance to airport and reception at destination together determine which solution is safe and realistic.
Local context
Local medical context in Canary Islands
Canary Islands requires its own assessment due to its location as an archipelago a long distance from Belgium and the Netherlands.
In medical repatriation from Canary Islands, we consider long flight planning, island logistics, inter-island care and medical stabilisation, distance to airport or hospital and safe transfer.
Not every patient can travel independently. Pain, mobility, oxygen requirements, recent admission or uncertainty after an accident may necessitate professional supervision.

Repatriation
Medical transport from Canary Islands to Belgium or the Netherlands
For medical repatriation from Canary Islands, we look at the entire itinerary: residence or hospital, local ambulance phase, medical documents, island logistics and flight connections, form of transport and reception on arrival.
Depending on the medical situation, this can be done through ambulance transport, medical escort on a scheduled flight, stretcher flight or air ambulance.
Due to the location of Canary Islands, long flight planning, island logistics, inter-island care and medical stabilisation are particularly important. In doing so, we consider not only distance but also comfort, mobility, pain, oxygen requirements, medical transfer and practical feasibility.

Ambulance transport
Ambulance transport from Canary Islands
Ambulance transport may be needed from hotel, holiday address, home, hospital, clinic, port or airport. The local ambulance stage often determines the safety of full repatriation.
From Canary Islands, we pay attention to long flight planning, island logistics, inter-island care and medical stabilisation. Depending on the condition, we provide appropriate transport with nursing paramedical or specialised assistance.
Recumbent transport, oxygen, monitoring, pain control and transfer to a receiving healthcare facility can also be part of it.
Medical flight
Medical escort on scheduled flight from Canary Islands
For stable patients, a commercial flight with medical escort can be a safe and affordable solution. This considers fit-to-fly, flight duration, transfers, assistance, oxygen request and connection with ambulance transport.
From Canary Islands, we mainly assess long flight planning, island logistics, inter-island care and medical stabilisation. For islands, local ambulance phase, airport connectivity, weather conditions and fit-to-fly are also important.
A medical escort can help with mobility, medication, observation, communication with airport staff and transfer at destination.
Air ambulance
Air ambulance or ambulance jet from Canary Islands
For critical, unstable or time-sensitive cases, a dedicated air ambulance may be necessary. This is especially considered for ICU patients, ventilation, severe trauma, neurological problems, complex infections or situations where a scheduled flight is not medically safe.
An air ambulance is fully tailored to the medical need: team, equipment, route, timing, departure and arrival ambulance and handover at the receiving hospital.
An air ambulance is chosen only when it is the safest solution medically and practically.
Stretcher flight
Stretcher flight from Canary Islands
Is a patient unable to sit for long periods, but an ambulance jet is not necessary? Then a stretcher on a commercial flight may be a suitable interim solution.
This requires preparation: medical forms, airline approval, planning of the lying-in escort team, ambulance to airport and reception at destination.
From Canary Islands, we also include long flight planning, island logistics, inter-island care and medical stabilisation to ensure the journey remains safe and realistic.

Planning
What makes repatriation from Canary Islands different?
Patient load capacity
Not only diagnosis, but also pain, mobility, oxygen requirements and fit-to-fly determine the route.
Route selection and transfer
For Canary Islands, we weigh long flight planning, island logistics, inter-island care and medical stabilisation, timing, documents and reception at destination together.
Island logistics
Extra focus on island transport from Canary Islands
With the Canary Islands, the distance from Belgium or the Netherlands is greater than with mainland Spain. Therefore, flight planning, medical stabilisation and connection with local ambulance services are especially important.
We always look at the full chain: local ambulance, medical documents, airport assistance flight or stretcher route, arrival ambulance and transfer at destination.

Operation and fit-to-fly
Travel after surgery from Canary Islands
After surgery, flying or long transport is not automatically safe. Risks such as pain, thrombosis oxygen requirements, wound care, infection, immobility and complications should be considered.
We help collect medical data, consult with doctors and choose a safe route. Sometimes escorting on a scheduled flight is sufficient. Sometimes lying transport, extra oxygen, stretcher transport or air ambulance is needed.
After surgery, we carefully assess timing, pain, mobility, wound care, thrombosis risk and fit-to-fly.

Case study
Case study: medical repatriation from Canary Islands
A patient in the Canary Islands had to return to Belgium after admission.
Due to the long flight, fatigue and need for guidance, fit-to-fly was assessed first.
A feasible route was then chosen with local ambulance, flight assistance and reception at destination.
This situation shows why discharge from a hospital or clinic does not automatically mean that independent travel is safe. A medically sound journey requires assessment, planning and transfer from bed to bed.
