Full Description

Air Ambulance Service in Kandla, Gujarat

Accretion Aviation runs an ICU air ambulance from Kandla Airport to Ahmedabad, Bhuj, Mumbai and other major hospitals. A doctor and paramedic stay with the patient from bedside to bedside, and our team can be ready within 2 hours of your call, any day of the year.

Kandla sits on the Gulf of Kutch and runs on Deendayal Port, the Kandla Special Economic Zone and the shipping, salt and warehousing trade around them. Gandhidham and Adipur next door form the main medical hub for the area. Hospitals such as Sterling Ramkrishna Speciality Hospital in Gandhidham and the Government Hospital in Adipur handle emergencies and stabilise patients. When the treating doctor advises a cardiac, neuro, trauma or cancer centre beyond Kutch, Ahmedabad is about 300 km away, and that is where an air transfer saves hours that matter.

How the Kandla air ambulance transfer works

You call. Share the patient's condition, current hospital and destination. We confirm availability and a quote.
Ground ICU ambulance. We pick the patient up from a hospital or home in Kandla, Gandhidham or Adipur and drive to Kandla Airport (also called Gandhidham Airport, code IXY). It is run by the Airports Authority of India and sits about 7.5 km northwest of Gandhidham, so allow for that drive in your timing.
The flight. The aircraft carries an ICU setup with monitoring and life support equipment. A doctor and a paramedic are with the patient throughout.
Handover. A second ambulance meets us on landing and takes the patient straight to the receiving hospital. We confirm the bed with that hospital before the aircraft leaves.

One family attendant can fly along, subject to weight and space.
