Private Medical Escort from Croatia
For stable patients in Croatia who are medically fit to fly, our commercial medical escort service offers a safe, dignified, and cost-effective alternative to air ambulance transport. A SkyCare nurse, paramedic, or doctor accompanies the patient from bedside to bedside, providing continuous medical supervision throughout the journey.
We coordinate departures from all major Croatian airports, including Zagreb, Split, and Dubrovnik, and liaise with airlines, airport authorities, and receiving medical teams. This service is ideal for medical repatriation to the UK or other European destinations from cities and regions such as Zagreb, Zadar, Pula, Osijek, and the Dalmatian Coast.

Our ambulances are staffed by experienced paramedics and clinicians, with full monitoring and support throughout the journey. We collect patients directly from homes, hospitals, or clinics and drive non-stop to the UK — avoiding the need for airports or airfields.
