- Worldwide Medical Evacuation Services

Family Medical Practice has an experienced team of emergency escort doctors, nurses and ground staff who safely and efficiently arrange air and overland evacuations.
While we always try to treat our patients within Vietnam, in certain critical situations we may opt for an air-assisted evacuation service to one of the best medical facilities in our neighboring countries.
When we decide to evacuate a patient, Family Medical Practice takes care of all the details to remove as many complications as possible for the patient. We liaise directly with your health insurance company, arrange ground or air transportation, and use an extensive referral system of leading specialists. Our expert staff take care of all travel arrangements, ground clearances, GOP, air tickets, and medical reports. We can reach anywhere in Vietnam, no matter where you are—whether it’s a city, border area, or the remote highlands. We can coordinate with our neighboring regional hospitals to place patients—or evacuate to your home country, depending on the circumstances.
Dr. Rafi Kot is the medical coordinator for Vietnam Airlines’ foreign-employed crews, and through this association, Family Medical Practice is able to arrange commercial stretcher services with Vietnam Airlines and most major airlines at short notice and have immediate exclusive access to an Air Ambulance.
Our medical staff are experienced in handling basic cases all the way through to complex medical conditions. In 2013, we successfully performed the first ECMO evacuation in Asia. We have evacuated patients to Singapore, Thailand, Japan, the USA, Denmark, Sweden, Germany, the UK, France, Canada, Australia and many other countries worldwide.
For further information about our 24-hour ambulance and medical evacuation service, please contact the reception of your nearest medical center.
