Urgent Medical Evacuation for Overseas Chinese Patient

Emergency Medical Transfer (Orthopedic Surgery)

At 8 PM on Friday evening, we received an urgent request: A Chinese traveler had suffered a severe leg fracture in Malaysia. Given the limited local medical capabilities, an immediate transfer to a major hospital in Kuala Lumpur was required. Our rapid response included: 4-Hour Emergency Response: Confirmed availability of a medical aircraft, coordinated flight route and landing permits; Overnight Preparation: Provided a detailed itinerary before midnight to reassure the family; Full Medical Escort: Ground ambulance transported patient directly to the aircraft; patient remained supine throughout the flight; Post-Surgical Care: Our team visited the hospital five days post-surgery for personal follow-up.
