Local context
Local medical context in Strasbourg
Strasbourg is strategically located on the border with Germany and within reach of Belgium, Luxembourg, Switzerland and the Netherlands. As a result, ambulance transport is often a realistic choice.
Patients sometimes lie there after hospitalisation, accident, heart problem, neurological complaint or medical situation during transit.
We consider on a case-by-case basis whether direct ambulance to the home country is possible, or whether an intermediate step via airport, specialised centre or higher care support is needed.

Repatriation
Medical transport from Strasbourg to Belgium or the Netherlands
For medical repatriation from Strasbourg, we look at the full itinerary:
residence or hospital, local ambulance stage, ferry or airport options,
medical documents, form of transport and reception on arrival.
Depending on the medical situation, this can be done through ambulance transport,
medical escort on a scheduled flight,
stretcher flight or air ambulance.
Repatriation means returning a patient safely and medically responsible
to home, a hospital or a rehabilitation centre. In doing so, we consider not only distance
but also comfort, mobility, pain, oxygen requirements, medical transfer and practical feasibility.
