Safe transfer of patients with infectious diseases
COVID-19 patient transports of the Malteser Air Ambulance
Safe transport in unsafe times
The current coronavirus pandemic leads to a particularly high demand in specialist patient transports. Overloaded hospitals in specific regions, as well as insufficient intensive-care or treatment capacities on site may make it necessary to transport patientes with COVID-19. Transporting highly infectious patients in critical condition requires comprehensive measures to protect the patient and the medical staff alike, however.
While ground transport across long distances is often not feasible and transfer by helicopter is expensive and dependent on the weather, we can transport your patients quickly and safely in an ambulance aircraft.
We transport patients in a closed patient isolation unit.
Advantages of the patient isolation unit
- Safety by permanent negative pressure
- Inlet and outlet filters
- No restriction in continuous treatment of the patient

- Upon request, we will organise the entire transport, including the drive to the starting airport and collection at the target airport
