Service extended by SentinelMED

US-based travel medical assistance company SentinelMED has announced that it will be extending long-distance medical transportation and repatriation services to both domestic and international patients who fall ill or are injured outside of US borders. This move comes as a welcome effort by travelling patients, whose customary insurance policies often do not apply outside the US.
SentinelMED has been serving patients with medical assistance services for 25 years. In the recent past, the company has been focusing on specialisation in all aspects of medical travel, and now has a separate department dedicated to repatriation services for domestic and international patients, which, according to a company spokesman, ‘has been set up for the convenience and safety of US citizens travelling outside the country’.
The spokesman further added: “Our team of multilingual medical and assistance repatriation specialists will organise everything for the patient. Whether the patient requires intensive care transport to his home country, or to make travel arrangements for relatives abroad, we provide tailored solutions according to the need of individual patients.”
