Route and transport mode
This mission connected Penang, Malaysia and Medan, Indonesia. The source record identifies the transport mode as private air ambulance.
Each published mission record is kept intentionally concise to protect patient privacy. SAM assesses the patient's condition, current treatment, route, crew, equipment and receiving arrangements before any transfer.
How a similar transfer is planned
A new case begins with a clinical assessment and confirmation of the sending and receiving points. The operations team then coordinates the route, required documents, suitable transport, medical crew and bedside-to-bedside handover.
