Medical Clearance at Airports
Airport medical clearance is a high-risk touchpoint in international assistance. A single bottleneck at security, boarding, or immigration can disrupt treatment timelines and create preventable medical and financial exposure. Proper medical clearance ensures safe travel readiness and compliant passage through airport procedures for patients and escorts.
Scope of the Service
We support fit-to-fly coordination, airport medical assistance, wheelchair/stretcher arrangements, exemption documentation when applicable, and on-ground medical transfers inside airports. We also coordinate documentation required by airlines, airports, and local authorities, and provide operational support for time-sensitive travel under treatment plans.
How the Process Works
1) Assess travel readiness and required airline approvals. 2) Coordinate medical documentation (fit-to-fly, supporting notes, equipment needs). 3) Pre-arrange airport services (assistance lanes, transfers, escorts). 4) Execute day-of-travel coordination with contingency planning. 5) Provide documentation summary for stakeholders and continuity with receiving teams.
Why Mest Assistance
We combine clinical awareness with airport operations experience. Our coordination reduces missed flights, delays, and non-compliance events while keeping stakeholders updated. Decisions and documents are tracked so the process is auditable and repeatable for high-volume programs.
Who This Service Is For
Insurers and corporates managing medical travel, government programs supporting international members, and high-volume assistance portfolios where reliable, compliant patient movement is operationally essential.
