Full Description

Air Ambulance Service in Jorhat

Accretion Aviation runs an air ambulance service in Jorhat, Assam, 24 hours a day, every day of the year. Our ICU-equipped aircraft flies out of Jorhat Airport (Rowriah) with a doctor and a paramedic on board, and we can activate within 2 hours of your call. Most patients from Jorhat, Majuli, Sivasagar and Golaghat are flown to Guwahati, Kolkata or Delhi for specialist care. We handle the whole transfer, from the hospital bed in Jorhat to the bed at the receiving hospital.

Why families in Jorhat choose an air ambulance

Jorhat has two main hospitals for emergencies: Jorhat Medical College and Hospital (JMCH) at Barbheta, and Jorhat Christian Medical Centre, known locally as Mission Hospital, which has served the town since 1924. When a case needs a cardiac, neurology, cancer or trauma super-speciality team, doctors here usually refer the patient onward. Guwahati is about 300 km away by road. For a patient on a ventilator or with a fresh stroke or heart attack, that drive is long and risky. A flight cuts the journey to roughly an hour in the air, and the patient stays under ICU-level care the whole way.

How the Jorhat air ambulance transfer works

Call us. Share the patient's condition, current hospital and where you want to go. Our medical team reviews the case and confirms the plan.
Pickup in Jorhat. A ground ambulance collects the patient from JMCH, Mission Hospital, a private nursing home or a house anywhere in Jorhat.
Road to the airport. Jorhat Airport at Rowriah is about 7 km from the city centre, around 20 minutes by road. It is a shared civil and Indian Air Force airfield, so we handle airport coordination for you.
The flight. A doctor and paramedic monitor the patient throughout. One family attendant can fly along, subject to weight and space.
Landing and handover. A second ground ambulance meets the aircraft and takes the patient straight to the receiving hospital, where our team hands over to the treating doctors.
