An air ambulance is an aircraft used for emergency medical assistance in situations where either a traditional ambulance cannot easily or quickly reach the scene or the patient needs to be repositioned at a distance where air transportation is most practical. Air ambulance crews are supplied with equipment that enables them to provide medical treatment to a critically injured or ill patient. Common equipment for air ambulances includes ventilators, medication, an ECG and monitoring unit, CPR equipment, and stretchers.
At Atinu Critical Care Hospital, we hope that in the not distant future, we’ll provide air ambulance services for aeromedical evacuation.

We provide continuum of care from one facility to another
Apart from responding to emergencies, our ambulances perform inter-facility transfer (IFT), providing a continuum of care from one facility to another. During the transport, the patient is monitored to make sure his or her condition doesn’t deteriorate.
In many cases, the patient is being moved from a facility that can’t provide the needed specialty care to a facility that can. In some cases, essential treatment is continued throughout the transport to make sure the patient makes it safely and is ready to receive care at the new hospital.
The staff on an IFT ambulance is an integral part of the patient’s treatment. They’re part of the healthcare team as much as the hospital staff is. At Atinu Critical Care Hospital, we leverage this vital service to ensure that patients in our locality get the treatments they need from the specialists who can provide them.
