What Does This Mean for Air Ambulance in Mumbai? For families arranging Air Ambulance in Mumbai, one useful question is not simply, “How quickly can the aircraft arrive?” Ask what happens before departure. Will a doctor review the patient? What equipment will be available? Who will accompany the patient? How will oxygen and medicines be managed? Has the receiving hospital been informed? These questions can tell you much more about the medical planning behind the service. A fast aircraft is useful. A fast aircraft with the right medical preparation is much more useful. The Receiving Hospital Is Part of the Plan The destination hospital should not be an afterthought. The transport team needs to know where the patient is going, what treatment is expected after arrival, and who will receive the patient. The patient's medical records, investigation reports and current treatment information should also be available for handover. Communication becomes particularly important in complicated cases. One published Indian case of an advanced air medical transfer describes coordination between the referring hospital, receiving hospital, transport team and aviation personnel as part of the preparation. The patient may travel in an aircraft, but the information has to travel too.
