Neurological issues: Concussions, seizures, or head injuries from accidents or physical activities.

Is Spain's healthcare system reliable for travelers?
Spain's excellent universal healthcare system is a great comfort for travelers who may face medical emergencies. The country's trained physicians and sophisticated hospitals guarantee that patients receive the finest possible treatment. However, although the public healthcare system is extensive, there are certain limitations:
Long waiting times for non-emergency operations might be problematic.
Language barriers might make it difficult to communicate with healthcare staff.
Many specialist treatments or medications may not be readily available or affordable.
Is hospital treatment expensive in Spain?
While Spain's healthcare costs are generally lower than those in the US, UK, and Australia, hospital treatment is by no means cheap. While public healthcare is usually free or low-cost for residents and some insured travelers, private hospitals can be much pricier. Without adequate insurance coverage, even a brief hospital stay can result in a substantial bill that could leave you feeling ill long after you've recovered. As your out-of-pocket expenses will depend on your policy's coverage limits and exclusions, it is essential to purchase comprehensive travel insurance that covers emergency medical treatment, hospitalization, prescription medications and medical repatriation.
Does MTI 24/7 offer medical repatriation and evacuation to and from Spain?
When a medical emergency strikes while traveling in Spain or any other country, our team is ready to help. We provide comprehensive global medical repatriation and evacuation services, including to and from Spain and the UK, among other destinations. Our goal is to ensure that you or your loved one receives the necessary medical care and can return home safely and efficiently. Whether you need to be transferred in a dedicated air ambulance or via a commercial flight with a medical escort, we’ve got you covered!
What is our Air Ambulance Spain service?
At Medical Transport International 24/7, we offer comprehensive air ambulance services to patients who require specialized medical transportation to and from Spain. Our air ambulances are more than just planes – they’re flying intensive care units staffed by trained medical professionals, and are outfitted with advanced medical equipment, allowing our team to provide the same level of care you would receive in a hospital, even at 30,000 feet.
Our air ambulances are essential in situations where patients require continuous air care. Some examples include:
Respiratory failures requiring ventilator support.
Cancer patients in need of specialized treatment.
Critical cardiovascular events (e.g., heart attacks, strokes).
Neurological emergencies (e.g., brain injuries, spinal cord injuries).
Severe traumatic injuries (e.g., multiple traumas, internal bleeding).
Our air ambulances are equipped with state-of-the-art medical technology, including:
Advanced life support systems.
Intensive care monitoring equipment.
Portable ventilators and oxygen supplies.
Emergency medications and medical supplies.
Specialized stretchers and patient transfer devices.
Moreover, our air ambulances are equipped with advanced technical systems that allow us to maintain sea level cabin pressure without the need to fly at lower altitudes. This is particularly important for patients with respiratory issues or those who are sensitive to changes in air pressure, as it helps prevent further complications, like hypoxia or barotrauma, during the flight.
Is there a cheaper alternative to our air ambulances?
For patients who are stable enough to travel on a commercial flight, our medical escort service offers a cheaper alternative without compromising on quality of care. When opting for our medical escort service, a qualified medical professional, such as a nurse or paramedic, will accompany you on a commercial flight to ensure your safety and comfort throughout the journey.
This service is well-suited for patients who require medical attention but do not need the comprehensive facilities of an air ambulance, such as:
Pregnant women with non-emergency complications.
Patients with mild to moderate cognitive impairments.
Patients recovering from surgery or medical procedures.
Elderly patients with chronic conditions requiring assistance during travel.
Individuals with mobility issues needing help with transfers and personal care.
During your trip, our medical escort will:
Provide necessary medical care and monitoring.
Assist with personal care, mobility, and comfort needs.
Administer medications and manage medical equipment.
Offer emotional support and reassurance to the patient and their family.
Handle medical emergencies and make necessary decisions to ensure patient safety.
Our experienced medical escorts are trained to handle a wide range of medical conditions. They will work closely with your healthcare provider in Spain to develop a comprehensive transport plan tailored to your specific needs.
What factors determine the cost of an Air Ambulance Spain?
While we cannot provide exact prices without assessing your specific situation, we can discuss the main elements that influence the cost of your medical transport:
Distance between country of origin and destination.
Patient's medical condition and required level of care.
Type and size of aircraft needed (e.g., jet or helicopter).
Number and qualifications of medical staff accompanying the patient.
Contact us directly to discuss your situation in more detail and receive a personalized quote.
Can you rely on insurance to cover the cost of an Air Ambulance Spain?
Insurance coverage for medical repatriation and evacuation varies greatly depending on the insurance and provider. Some travel insurance policies may include coverage for emergency medical transport. However, the amount of this coverage varies substantially. In other situations, insurance may only cover a part of the overall cost, leaving you with considerable out-of-pocket expenses. It is critical to thoroughly check your insurance documentation and understand any limits, exclusions, or deductibles that may apply.
What is our bed-to-bed service?
When organizing medical transportation to or from Spain, the journey involves more than just the flight itself. Getting to and from the airport may be a difficult chore, especially when coping with a medical issue. With our bed-to-bed service, we handle all aspects of your ground transportation requirements. Along with your medical flight, our dedicated team will coordinate ground ambulance transportation for seamless transfers between the airport, your healthcare facility, or your home. This service ensures that you receive ongoing medical care and attention during your travel.
