On board are some of the country's most experienced and specially trained doctors and nurses in airborne intensive care. They are used to working in the same team and immediately assume full medical responsibility for the patient. No one from your department needs to accompany the patient, allowing you to retain all resources within your unit. This saves time, energy and lives.
We will fly the patient to Uppsala University Hospital or to another predetermined hospital in Europe. Where necessary, the care teams are supplemented with the necessary specialised expertise. There are always two pilots on board to provide an additional margin of flight safety.
This includes:
- 24-hour emergency response, all year round.
- A fully specialised team with extensive experience of working together.
- Dual pilots for extra safety during the flight
- Specially equipped intensive care stretcher or incubator.
- Medical responsibility from bedside to bedside.
- The shortest possible time outside the hospital environment.
- All the costs of the mission on a single invoice, allowing for easier oversight and administration.

Our clients
Our clients include regional healthcare authorities and hospitals throughout Sweden, with a focus on the central regions. We also transport foreign patients in need of specialist care at Uppsala University Hospital.
In Sweden
No matter where in Sweden you live, you should have access to highly specialised care when needed. We pick up patients from all over the country and make sure they get to the specialised wards that can best provide them with the care they need.
International specialised care
We transport international patients when they require a second opinion or specialist care in areas where we are particularly prominent, such as endocrine oncology (the study of hormone-producing tumours). As the world becomes more globalised and cooperation between countries, hospitals and doctors increases, so do our flights to and from other countries.
