What is a medical evacuation?

0

Medical evacuation (MEDEVAC) is emergency transportation in order to save life or limb or when alternative means, including local treatment, are deemed inadequate. MEDEVAC can also be planned medical evacuation for scheduled medical conditions for which treatment or specialty tests are unavailable. If care is inadequate, the patient is usually transported to the nearest medical evacuation site where services are suitable and available.
