Medical Escorts and Equipment

Overview

When a patient must move between facilities or countries, clinical safety depends on the right escort and equipment. TouristDoctor arranges nurses, paramedics or physicians — together with oxygen, monitors, stretchers and related logistics — matched to the patient's condition.

We coordinate bed-to-bed handovers with ground and air ambulance partners, ensuring receiving teams have clear documentation. Cases can be opened via the 24/7 hotline 86115, WhatsApp or directly by insurers and assistance companies.
