What is Emergency Medical Repatriation?
An emergency medical repatriation, sometimes known as medical evacuation, is when Lifesupport brings you from a facility that cannot provide appropriate care to a hospital equipped to handle your situation. These are life and limb situations where every moment counts.
In these emergency cases, we pick you up as soon as possible, often within 24 hours. We come prepared to administer a high level of medical care, knowing that your condition is very serious and clinical information is limited.
Where Can You Pick Me Up in an Emergency?
No location is too remote for Lifesupport: we have taken boats, trains, RVs, and more to get to patients who need emergency evacuations.
While we can get you home from practically any situation around the world, here are some common emergency medical evacuation scenarios we encounter:
- An individual falls ill on a cruise ship
- An individual gets injured in a country with poor medical infrastructure
- An individual in a foreign hospital needs emergency surgery but wants it done in a hospital close to home

Non-Emergency Medical Transportation
A non-emergency medical repatriation is when we bring you home from a setting where you are receiving appropriate care. Financial and other considerations are often the reason for transport.
In this case, Lifesupport works with your hospital clinical care team to determine the best travel plan. That includes the timing and level of clinical care you’ll need throughout the journey. Non-emergency medical transportation can be arranged in as few as 24 hours or can take up to a couple of weeks.
