Full Description

Air Ambulance Services in Kushinagar

Accretion Aviation provides air ambulance services in Kushinagar 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Our ICU-equipped aircraft and medical team can be activated within 2 hours of your call, and we manage the transfer from bed to bed so your family does not have to coordinate anything alone.

Kushinagar sees pilgrims from across India and the Buddhist world, who come for the Mahaparinirvana Temple, Ramabhar Stupa and Wat Thai. Residents and visitors rely on the District Hospital at Padrauna, the Autonomous State Medical College Kushinagar and Gautam Buddha National Hospital on the Kasia-Gorakhpur road. When a heart attack, stroke, serious injury or high-risk pregnancy needs ICU or specialist care beyond what is available locally, patients are usually referred to Gorakhpur, Lucknow, Varanasi or Patna. If the road trip is too long or too risky for the patient, a flight gets them there faster, with a doctor watching them the whole way.

How Our Kushinagar Air Ambulance Transfer Works

You call us with the patient’s condition and the hospital you are moving from and to.
A ground ambulance collects the patient from home or hospital in Kushinagar, Padrauna, Kasia, Hata or nearby, and takes them to Kushinagar International Airport.
The ICU aircraft flies the patient with a doctor and paramedic on board throughout.
A second ground ambulance meets the aircraft and takes the patient straight to the receiving hospital.

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