At Aero Medical & Marine Training and Rescue International, we handle diverse and complex missions across the globe, each one with its unique challenges and moments of deep human connection.
One recent mission took us to Kilimanjaro, Tanzania, where a patient sustained serious injuries after a fall during a safari expedition. Thanks to the incredible expertise and dedication of Alexia Hartmann Fernández, who traveled from Spain to personally lead the repatriation, the patient and her family were safely transported to Denmark.
From remote terrain and cross-border coordination to detailed medical planning, this mission was a testament to the resilience of our team and the strength of collaboration. Every procedure, every detail, every mile handled with care, precision, and compassion.
This is just one of many stories that remind us why we do what we do.
