When a loved one’s health is at risk, it becomes a matter where all options are explored. Anyone who has a relative that is suffering from a life threatening condition or illness wants the assurance of knowing that their health is in the hands of the leading specialist physician for the particular case. However, what are the patient’s relatives left to do in the urgent situation where the medical institution does not have the relevant experienced specialists available to treat the patient? Must they have to gamble with their loved one’s health? These relatives now have hope thanks to the International ‘Flying Doctor service’.

The International Flying Doctor service was established with a mission to give these patients a second chance at life. A physician who is a leading specialist for the patient’s specific condition or illness is quickly flown-in to any destination in the world - providing the patient with the necessary medical treatment and consultations.

At the forefront of this service is Shemer Medical Center, a leading medical tourism provider in Israel. Israel’s doctors are internationally acclaimed as leaders and innovators in the science of medicine. Shemer’s tight-knit connection and network of specialist physicians enable severely ill patients from around the world to receive lifesaving treatment in their own countries by the very doctors and medical consultants, who are considered to be leaders in both Israeli and modern Western medicine.

Shemer’s unique and essential International Flying Doctor service provides a safe and more affordable solution for patients, in comparison to transporting them to an alternative medical center by Air Ambulance. However, Shemer also offers Air Ambulance service, should a doctor deem that a patient require transfer to a more sophisticated medical center. In that case, the doctor will escort the patient during an air transfer to a preferred medical center in Israel.
