Medical Repatriation

Overview

After stabilisation, many travellers wish to continue recovery at home. Medical repatriation is a planned journey — not an emergency scramble — with escort staffing, equipment and routing matched to clinical acuity and insurer requirements.

TouristDoctor designs multi-leg repatriations from Mauritius and Seychelles worldwide, coordinating commercial, stretcher or air ambulance options and liaising with receiving hospitals. Cases are managed through our 24/7 team on hotline 86115 and WhatsApp.

Who it is for

• Stable patients cleared to continue recovery in their home country
• Families requesting structured return travel with medical supervision
• Assistance companies managing insurer-approved repatriation plans
• Hospitals discharging foreign patients who need escorted transfer home
• Corporate clients repatriating employees after treatment abroad

What is included

• Medical clearance and detailed multi-leg routing plans
• Escort staffing matched to acuity — nurse, paramedic or physician
• Equipment logistics for oxygen, monitoring or stretcher travel
• Insurer case management, authorisations and billing coordination
• Commercial, stretcher or air ambulance booking as clinically indicated
• Receiving hospital liaison and bed confirmation
• Companion travel arrangements for family when authorised

How it works

1. Treating clinicians confirm stability and repatriation fitness.
2. A routing and escort plan is proposed for insurer approval.
3. Travel, equipment and receiving facility arrangements are locked in.
4. The escorted journey proceeds with continuous case updates.
5. Handover at the home-country facility completes the repatriation.
