Before you choose any provider
Why the medical team matters
In a critical transfer, the equipment matters, but the clinician beside the patient matters more. Ask these questions of anyone you trust with a life.
What are the doctor's qualifications?
Look for an MBBS graduate with an MD or equivalent specialist qualification and an active medical licence.
What is the doctor's specialty?
Critically ill patients need specialists in anaesthesiology, critical care, emergency or intensive-care medicine.
Where was the doctor trained?
Experience in tertiary hospitals, ICUs, trauma centres and air medical transport matters during emergencies.
Does the team have real transport experience?
Ask about ventilated patients, ICU transfers, international repatriation, neonatal/paediatric and ECMO transfers.

Common questions
Answers for families making a hard decision
The things people ask us most when arranging a critical transfer.
Who will care for my loved one during the transfer?
Every critical Zenith mission is staffed by fully qualified MBBS and MD specialist doctors (anaesthesiologists, intensivists and emergency physicians), supported by trained critical-care nurses and paramedics. Your loved one receives ICU-level care from bedside to destination, not just transportation.
What qualifications do your doctors hold?
Our doctors are MBBS graduates with MD or equivalent specialist qualifications and active medical licences. Our medical director, Dr. Jai Prakash Tak, is an MD anaesthesiologist with a fellowship in neuroanaesthesia and critical care and more than 1,000 transport missions.
Can you transport ventilated or ICU-dependent patients?
Yes. We routinely manage ventilated patients, multiple infusions, invasive monitoring, and high-acuity cases including ECMO support, maintaining the same standard of care a patient would receive in a tertiary-hospital ICU.
Do you transport newborns and children?
Yes. We provide age-appropriate teams and equipment for adult, paediatric and neonatal patients, including transport incubators and specialist paediatric airway and medication management.
How do I arrange a transfer?
Call our 24/7 helpline. A coordinator and doctor will assess the patient's condition, recommend the safest mode of transport (charter air ambulance, commercial medical escort, or ground), and handle aircraft, ambulances, documentation and hospital coordination at both ends.
