On Call’s Service Spotlight: Medical Repatriations

At On Call, our mission is to support travelers, no matter where they are or when they need us. In our Service Spotlight series, we dive into the different services that help ensure our travelers’ trips are safer, healthier, and smoother.

This month, we’re focusing on some of the different medical repatriations we handle around the clock, 365 days a year. This is just a glimpse of how we’re here for travelers during critical times, so stay tuned as we continue to highlight more ways we can support you and your travelers in need.

Medical Repatriation With A Rescue Nurse
A medical repatriation is the process of transporting a traveler after they have received medical treatment while abroad.

For travelers who require continuous medical care during their return journey, On Call can arrange necessary transportation by providing a Rescue Nurse to accompany the traveler.

From takeoff to landing (and everything in between), On Call’s Rescue Nurse ensures the traveler stays safe and comfortable until they reach their next destination for continued care.

Medical Repatriation Without A RN
For travelers who require repatriation but do not need continuous medical care throughout their journey, On Call can coordinate their safe return home.

This service is ideal for travelers who are stable enough to travel without medical supervision, but still need assistance with logistics and transportation.

Repatriation of Remains
In the unfortunate event that a traveler passes away while abroad, On Call can coordinate the crucial process of returning their remains home. This includes arranging for a casket or air tray, preparation, and transportation to the deceased’s residence or burial place.

We ensure that the remains are treated with the utmost care and respect, coordinating with local authorities and funeral homes to navigate legal, cultural, and logistical challenges.
