Full Description

Air Ambulance Services in Jogbani, Bihar

Accretion Aviation provides air ambulance services in Jogbani 24 hours a day, every day of the year. Our ICU-equipped aircraft flies with a doctor and a paramedic on board, and we can activate within 2 hours of your call. We handle the transfer from the patient's bed in Jogbani to the bed at the receiving hospital.

Jogbani sits at the end of NH 527 in Araria district, right across the border from Biratnagar in Nepal. A heart attack, stroke, serious road accident or high-risk delivery here usually means a referral from Forbesganj or Araria to Purnea, and then on to Patna or Kolkata for specialist care. Getting there by road takes hours a critical patient may not have. A flight shortens that gap a lot.

How the Jogbani Air Ambulance Transfer Works

You call us with the patient's condition and destination. We confirm the aircraft and medical team.
A ground ambulance picks up the patient from home, from a hospital in Jogbani or Forbesganj, or from the border side, and drives to Purnea Airport, the nearest operating airport, about 90 km away.
The patient flies with our doctor and paramedic for the whole journey. One family attendant can travel along, subject to weight and space.
A second ground ambulance meets the aircraft and takes the patient straight to the receiving hospital.
