    Our medical transfer desk is staffed 24 hours. You do not need complete information to make the first call, the current location of the patient and where they need to go is enough to begin.

    Medevac from Cebu, gateway to the central Philippines

    Cebu (CEB/RPVM) is the hub the central and southern Philippines rely on for medical movement, both for residents and for the large visitor and diving population across the Visayas. Aviall arranges fixed-wing air ambulance and medical evacuation from Cebu to Manila, Singapore and home countries, working to the clinical picture rather than a fixed aircraft type.

    Every mission is owned by a single coordinator on a 24/7 desk, with clinical teams, aircraft sourcing, ground ambulance staging and cross-border clearances managed door-to-door.

    When to call for a Cebu medevac

    Cebu demand spans island retrieval, tourist and diving incidents, and resident transfer to definitive care.

    • Island retrieval across the Visayas where local clinical capability is limited
    • ICU-grade transfer with ventilator, infusion pumps, monitoring and clinical escort
    • Diving and marine incident response with appropriate cabin-altitude management
    • Tourist repatriation onward to Singapore, Australia or home country
    • Neonatal and paediatric transfer with isolette-compatible loading
    • Insurer- and assistance-company-driven cross-border cases

    Aircraft and clinical configurations from Cebu

    The airframe is matched to range, runway and clinical fit-out. Island strips and onward regional sectors shape the selection.

    • Light jet, shorter inter-island and regional single-stretcher missions
    • Midsize jet, extended-range ICU fit-out for onward repatriation
    • Long-range jet, onward international repatriation with ventilator support
    • Turboprop, strip-capable airframes for outer-island retrieval
    • Commercial wide-body stretcher where airline approvals and timing allow

    Coordination model from Cebu

    One coordinator runs it from referral to receiving bedside, following the flight live and documenting each clinical handover.

    • 24/7 medical activation desk on a single number
    • Both treating and receiving teams deal with the same clinical lead
    • Ground ambulance staged at origin and destination
    • Customs, immigration and diplomatic clearances on cross-border missions
    • MEDIF, oxygen calculations and airline approvals where commercial uplift is used
    • A single contact covering insurer, assistance company and family

    Cebu medevac capability at a glance

    Island retrieval

    Strip-capable turboprop access across the Visayas where capability is limited.

    ICU air ambulance

    Kit and crew are matched to acuity rather than to a standard package.

    Diving incident response

    Cabin-altitude management appropriate to decompression cases.

    Cross-border repatriation

    Onward to Singapore, Australia or home country with clearances managed.

    Neonatal & paediatric

    Neonatal work needs isolette clearance on the aircraft and a specialist team available.

    Single coordinator

    You deal with one coordinator, not a roster, from first call to bedside.

    Medical transfer & repatriation desk

    Request a medical transfer

    You do not need a complete clinical picture to contact us. Tell us where the patient is and where they need to go, and a coordinator will start assessing options, aircraft, clinical configuration, crewing, clearances and ground ambulance, while the rest of the information is still being gathered.

    Enough to start

    • Where the patient is now

      City or country, and the facility type if you know it

    • Where they need to go

      City, country, or receiving hospital if already arranged

    • Rough timing

      Today, within 24 hours, or later this week

    • How they are travelling

      Seated, wheelchair, stretcher, or intensive care, an estimate is fine

    Helpful, but can follow

    • A medical report, discharge summary or fit-to-fly assessment, uploaded securely
    • Treating team or transfer-desk contact, so our clinical coordinator can speak with them directly
    • Insurer, assistance company or funding arrangement, if one applies
    • Receiving hospital acceptance, where that is still being organised

    Clinical acceptance and aircraft availability are confirmed after review by the clinical team and the receiving facility. Contacting us does not by itself confirm a flight, a crew or acceptance of the patient.

    What this looks like in operation

    Representative mission profiles drawn from recurring work. Identifying details, operators, hospitals, routes, aircraft tail numbers, are intentionally omitted.

    International · Repatriation

    Long-range stretcher repatriation across the Pacific

    A complex case with ventilator and infusion support required movement from a regional Pacific facility back to a domestic tertiary centre. Aviall configured a long-range jet with a critical-care medical fit-out, coordinated bed-to-bed handover with both treating teams, and managed customs and immigration at each stop.

    Outcome

    Bed-to-bed transfer completed without clinical deterioration en route.

    Neonatal · Critical

    Neonatal transfer to a tertiary paediatric centre

    A neonate requiring escalated care had to be moved from a regional hospital to a metropolitan paediatric tertiary centre. Aviall coordinated an aeromedical aircraft and a specialist retrieval team, with isolette-compatible loading and parent transit on the same airframe.

    Outcome

    Patient delivered to receiving NICU within the clinical window agreed by both teams.

    Remote · Mining medevac

    Trauma extraction from a remote mine site

    An incident at a remote mine site required immediate movement of a trauma patient to a metropolitan trauma centre. Aviall launched on the standing medevac protocol, with a clinical team mobilised in parallel and the receiving trauma team pre-briefed before take-off.

    Outcome

    Patient on the operating table at the receiving centre well inside the planned window.
