Bed to bed Medical Repatriation
Organizing Travel with Medical Assistance
Each year many families pay out of pocket for emergency medical care in a foreign country.
But after all the medical bills, medical repatriation is expensive too!
Every case is unique. Our team is dedicated to finding the safest, most affordable transport solution for your patient.
JET COMPANION organizes medical repatriations worldwide on behalf of insurance companies, assistance centers, the Canadian government, corporate clients and upon request of families directly.
What is a bed-to-bed repatriation?
It means that we coordinate all the logistics of the medical transfer from start to finish.
