Medical escort in Europe — what to know
European medical transport both ways: we drive patients from Romania to clinics abroad and bring Romanians home from any EU state or the UK — with our own ambulance, a medical escort on scheduled flights, or an air ambulance. Road rate: 1 EUR/km unassisted, 1.5 EUR/km with a medical crew, distance counted round trip.
Who is this service for
- Relatives bringing home a patient hospitalized abroad
- Patients booked for treatment at foreign clinics
- Romanians abroad who prefer treatment back home
- Insurance and assistance companies looking for a road operator in Romania

What our patients say
„Discharge from Sf. Ioan hospital for my father. The Ambulanță Rapidă crew carried him up to the 4th floor, no elevator, without any hesitation. I recommend them wholeheartedly."
„Since the beginning of the year they have been taking me to hemodialysis three times a week. Not a single delay, and by now the crew knows me like a friend."
„My dad cannot get out of bed and I had no way to take him to his MRI by myself. The team carried him down, stayed with him at the clinic and brought him back to his room. A huge help."
„Transfer with a medical crew from Colentina to Fundeni for my mother. They spoke directly with both wards and handed her over to the doctors with her full file. Zero stress for us."
„They brought my mother from a hospital in Cluj-Napoca all the way home to Berceni. Hundreds of kilometers, with monitoring, rest stops and a crew that literally held her hand."
„My brother-in-law was brought back from Germany after an accident. They handled all the paperwork and the liaison with the hospital there — within days he was already admitted in Bucharest."
