Air ambulance flights

Gamma Air Medical is specialized in patient’s medical transfer from the hospitalization or residence place to the desired destination anywhere in the world.

Bedside to Bedside transfer is our standard procedure service including all ground transport needed. Taking into consideration the diagnosis and the patient’s medical history provided by the attending or treating physician, along with the distance of the trip, we suggest the most appropriate mean of transport. We also decide the specific additional medical equipment required and the medical escort specialty who will accompany the patient.

Gamma Air Medical is not an aircraft owner. We are a Medical Staff and Medical Equipment company. We operate our Medical cases on leased aircrafts, giving us the advantage of excluding any broker involvement, thus minimizing the total cost of an Air Ambulance flight. We have access and availability to different aircraft types (both fix and rotary wing) allowing us to choose the most suitable for each case, regarding the mission's requirements, such as speed, distance, runway length etc.

Gamma Air Medical managing director is an experienced pilot himself trained in Aviation and Space Medicine, while medical and dispatching staff are following continuous training program both in aviation medicine end flight planning being capable to take any operational decision necessary to ensure the safety of the flight and patient’s uncomplicated and uneventful arrival to destination.

"Medical Reports" & "Μedical Clearance"

Highly trained medical personnel of our company, available 24/7, provide medical advice to airline companies whether a passenger, who suffers from a medical condition, is able to travel by plane.

When fitness to travel is in doubt as a result of recent illness, hospitalization, injury, when special services are required e.g. oxygen, stretcher or authorization to carry along medical equipment our company is informed on the case in all available details.

All recent Medical Information is reported to our company via fax or e-mail. Next, it is thoroughly studied and evaluated. The on duty doctor, based on the given info, decides if the trip endangers the passenger's/patient's health or his co-passengers', allowing the person in question to travel or not.

Consulting

Aviation Consulting & Medical Interior consulting

Health Tourism

Health Tourism, also known as Medical Tourism, generally  describes the rapidly-growing practice of travelling across international borders to obtain Health Care.

People with serious or not health conditions travel abroad every day for relaxation or vacations. During that time, when abroad, they can have their condition taken care of, combining vacation with treatment.

Health expenses control & containment

Gamma Air Medical, being a company established by doctors, with multiple medical cases over the years, has accumulated substantial experience in health expenses cost control and containment.

We can provide unique services to our clients, by focusing on pro-acting in maintaining lower costs for the health services provided. Our main goal is to lower the cost by checking and controlling the hospital’s and clinics’ prices. That practically means the best possible quality of health services in reasonable costs.

We perform thorough cost investigation to the invoices sent by our clients, in order to determine whether the invoices coincide with the treatment given and even if the invoices are actually originals or not. We also double-check and cross-check every file to get the best possible cost break down in order to be more precise and thorough.

We can monitor the treatment starting with an estimation of the medical expenses per case based on the diagnosis and treatment. We are able to provide a cost estimation service for any specific diagnosis, according to our experience with the hospitals we are familiar in our region. This service can also be useful as referral for clients/patients. At the end of the treatment we automatically screen the medical expenses for unnecessary tests, overcharging and any billing errors.

The highly trained medical personnel of Gamma Air Medical can also provide medical consulting for major insurance companies and travel assistance companies from around the globe. When a foreigner has a medical condition or a medical emergency our company can provide immediately all the necessary assistance. We can organize his transfer for medical treatment, all the arrangements for his hospitalization, if required, and of course we always monitor the patients with frequent updates. We can monitor patients who are hospitalized in public hospitals as well. When there is difficulty getting substantial information for the insured customers that travel to Greece, due to the long distance and the language difference, we can obtain medical info and give medical reports for each case.

Congresses

Gamma Air Medical also organizes conferences, lectures or workshops on scientific issues, particularly regarding medical or aviation medicine, presentations of essays or training courses. An example is the organizing of "Caring in the Skies" Athens 2000 Air Ambulance, Congress and Exhibition.

First Aid Courses

Gamma Air Medical has gained valuable experience during the for years involvement in the Aviation Medical field. We consider ourselves experienced  enough to provide First Aid Medical Courses to all Flying Crew of airlines (passengers' cabin & cockpit), so they can provide substantial help in case of an emergency during a flight. For the past years, we have been organizing First Aid Courses for flying personnel, as part of their initial or recurrent training program,  with great success.

The Courses are aiming to teach safety and basic medical procedures to cabin crew and cockpit crew of commercial and business aircraft companies. The Courses are consisted of theoretical and also practical instruction. The use of audiovisual means during the courses is considered our specialty, blended with practice on training manikins.

We also organize First Aid Courses for large companies (hotel chains; athletic clubs; etc) that need their staff updated and ready to deal with cases of emergency in their every day work routine.

First Aid Medical Kits & Precaution Kits

Gamma Air Medical undertakes the equipment and renewal of all materials of First Aid Medical Kits, based on strict regulations and requirements of JAR EASA and FAA.

All Medical kits meet the requirements regarding the content and packaging. They can be customized according to the specific needs of each client. However, all the Kits are made by medical professionals and are specifically designed for in-flight use. 

Apart of First Aid Medical Kits, we also provide Precautions Kits.

Unlike First Aid Medical Kits that contain all necessary for emergency situations like medicine and all kind of medical supplies, the Precaution Kits provide personal protection and are the most responsible method for the clean-up of potentially infectious blood or body fluid spills.
