Medivac - Patient Transport Needed
Hi PPRuNers,
I have a relative in the Philippines, who is has been recently disabled and requires transport from Manila to either Melbourne or Los Angeles for further treatment.
Would those who know please give me some advise on;
1. Who provides such transport?
2. Any info on costs?
3. Are medical clearances required for the patient to fly?
4. Is air the best way to transport a disabled man or should we consider booking him on a ship? (It may just suit his particular case although it is bloody slow!)
5. Have you been involved in this before and can you offer general advise?
I did a search of the archives here and didn't find much, so feel free to post info here that may be of use to me and others in the future or PM me if you'd rather not post names and contact details.
BTW, if it makes any difference we would need to transport him in around a month or so.
Cheers,
ABX
