Angel MedFlight Provides International Air Ambulance Transport

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., May 21, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Angel MedFlight Worldwide Air Ambulance, a world leader in air medical transport, not only flies to all 50 U.S. states, but also to the farthest reaches of the globe. Through a mobile base of operations and fast, long-range, modern business jets, Angel MedFlight offers international medical flights to and from almost any area of the world.

"Our fleet of Learjet 60s and Learjet 35s have the long-range capabilities that allow us to fly to most places across the world," said Brandon Kearns, Director of Operations at Aviation West Charters dba Angel MedFlight Worldwide Air Ambulance.

In its seven years, Angel MedFlight has transported patients in 33 countries worldwide.

More than 13.5 million travelers are hospitalized each year while traveling. For example, a U.S. citizen traveling abroad who becomes critically ill or injured, and requires transport to the United States for a higher level of treatment, needs a dependable air ambulance services to transport him or her as quickly and safely as possible.

"This happened to a patient of ours who was volunteering abroad in Nigeria, says Chief Flight Coordinator Stacey Barnard, RN, CEN. "She became critically ill due to contracting the deadly Malaria virus and needed immediate evacuation back to the United States," Barnard explained.

Her illness prevented her from flying on a commercial airline, and Angel MedFlight was able to transport the patient back to the United States to receive higher level treatment that allowed her to eventually make a full recovery, Barnard reported.

Today as more people are traveling to farther destinations, for recreation, they may be trying activities they don't usually try for example, and that could result in unexpected injuries.

It's important to plan ahead in case you become critically ill or injured while traveling in a foreign country, or become hospitalized. You may need a medical transport back to the United States, especially if you are too ill to fly on a commercial flight. Finding the best air ambulance service to perform the transport quickly and safely from any country is important, especially if you need critical or long-term care. Angel MedFlight has the experience, the aircraft and the medical crews capable of transporting patients from all across the globe.
