ONE EXPERIENCED COORDINATION TEAM

Complex journeys.
Carefully connected.

With more than 20 years managing repatriations, mainly to European destinations, MRI Assist brings together the medical and logistical services behind each transfer.

From Spain and Portugal to the patient’s destination, we liaise with hospitals, airlines, airport assistance teams, patients and families—keeping your organisation informed throughout.

MEDICAL TRANSPORT SOLUTIONS

The right support.
For every journey.

Explore transport options and specialist support, coordinated around each case.

Ground ambulance transport

The right level of care for every ground transfer.

Conventional, Basic Life Support (BLS), Intermediate Life Support and Advanced Life Support (ALS) ambulances, selected according to the patient’s clinical requirements. We arrange hospital admissions, inter-hospital transfers and airport connections. Intensive care transport can include cardiac monitoring, defibrillation, oxygen and, where required, an incubator.

Air ambulance & medevac

Specialist air transport, connected from departure to arrival.

We coordinate air ambulance and helicopter transfers, linking medical teams, hospitals, ground ambulances and airport handling. Each mission is planned around the patient’s needs, the route and the timing of every participating service.

Commercial flight repatriation

A coordinated journey home, with the support each case needs.

We arrange repatriation on commercial flights, with or without a medical escort according to the patient’s requirements. Our team liaises with airlines, hospitals, patients, families and airport assistance providers, and can book tickets for accompanying relatives.

Medical & nursing escorts

Clinical support throughout the patient’s journey.

Medical and nursing support is available 24/7 for transport missions. We coordinate qualified professionals for ground ambulance, air ambulance and commercial flight transfers, according to the patient’s needs.

Event medical coverage

On-site teams and ambulance support for your event.

We arrange ambulance and medical support for sporting, cultural and other events, including activities with increased risk or large crowds. Coverage is planned around the event’s requirements and local legislation, with on-site assistance and hospital transfers when needed. Event organisers are responsible for arranging the required coverage.

Repatriation of mortal remains

Dignified coordination during a difficult time.

Through experienced specialist providers, we coordinate the arrangements required for repatriation of mortal remains, with professional communication and respectful handling throughout.
