Air Ambulance from Delhi DEL
Delhi's Indira Gandhi International Airport is India's largest and most connected international gateway, serving as the primary departure hub for North India and the Himalayan region. World Ambulance dispatches regularly from DEL for repatriation of expatriates and NRI patients heading to the UK, US, and Middle East.
DEL is also the key staging hub for Nepal and Bhutan cases — patients evacuated from Kathmandu or Paro who need intercontinental repatriation that smaller Himalayan airports cannot support.
Delhi's Medical Infrastructure
Medanta – The Medicity (Gurugram, 20km from DEL) is one of India's premier private hospitals. Max Super Speciality Hospital and Fortis Escorts are also excellent. AIIMS is one of Asia's finest academic medical centers for government hospital care.
Nepal and Bhutan Cases via Delhi
KTM (Kathmandu) to DEL is ~1.5 hours. World Ambulance coordinates this two-leg journey — domestic or regional flight from KTM to DEL, then intercontinental transport. This gives far better aircraft options than departing from Kathmandu's altitude-limited airport.
