Full Description

Air Ambulance Services in Daporijo, Upper Subansiri

Daporijo, the district headquarters of Upper Subansiri, sits on the banks of the Subansiri River along the Trans-Arunachal Highway (NH-13) — roughly 170 km from Ziro and 160 km from Aalo, both a full day's drive on hill roads that turn hazardous or impassable in the monsoon. The town's own District Hospital, Daporijo handles routine and primary care for the local Tagin community, but it isn't equipped for trauma, cardiac emergencies, high-risk deliveries, or critical surgery. For those cases, the nearest advanced care is in Guwahati, and by road that journey can take well over a day. Accretion Aviation provides air ambulance services in Daporijo 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, with an ICU-equipped aircraft and a trained medical team ready to activate within 2 hours of your call.

Why Daporijo Needs Air Evacuation

Daporijo Airport (IATA: DEP), the town's own airstrip on the Subansiri's banks, is IAF-operated and has historically seen only limited scheduled service. Terrain and seasonal road closures on NH-13 mean a critical patient often cannot reach a tertiary hospital in time by ground transport alone. Air evacuation compresses a journey that can take 12–20+ hours by road into a flight of a fraction of that time — the difference that matters in stroke, cardiac, trauma, and obstetric emergencies.

What Is Included in Our Daporijo Air Ambulance Service

Pickup: Our medical team receives the patient at Daporijo Airstrip or coordinates a ground ambulance from Daporijo town, Dumporijo, or elsewhere in Upper Subansiri to the aircraft.
In-flight care: A doctor and paramedic remain on board throughout, with the aircraft configured as a flying ICU — ventilator, cardiac monitor, defibrillator, and oxygen support as needed.
Destination hospital transfer: On landing — most commonly at Guwahati — a ground ambulance takes the patient directly to the receiving hospital, including major centres such as Gauhati Medical College & Hospital (GMCH), Down Town Hospital, Nemcare Hospital, and Apollo Hospitals Guwahati.
Family attendant: One attendant can travel on board, subject to weight and space.
