  Main object ever since has been the air medical transportation and medical escort of patients via means of air transport, air ambulance fixed and rotary wing or commercial scheduled flights.

  Services

   

  Air Ambulance Flights

   

  Gamma Air Medical specializes 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 that will accompany the patient.

   

  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 owns “state of the art” portable medical equipment certified for aviation use (respirator; vital signs monitor; syringe pumps; medical oxygen cylinders of aviation type; POC -Personal Oxygen Concentrator; and Incubator for neonates).

   

  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 and 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 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 “Fit to Fly” on commercial scheduled flight.

  
  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.

  Health Expenses Control /Containment & Medical Reports

  
  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 breakdown in order to be more precise and thorough.

  
  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.

   

   

  First Aid Courses

  
  Gamma Air Medical has gained valuable experience during the 27 years of 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 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 everyday work routine.
