THE CEO'S MESSAGE

Dr. Valentin Dinga
Dr. Valentin Dingă

Founder of AMEGA & Specialist in Aeromedical Medicine

Founder's message:

Passion for medicine, dedication to saving lives

The story of AMEGA started from a clear need that we identified in the Romanian healthcare system: the need to provide patients with a safe and ultra-fast bridge to global medical excellence. As a founder and physician, I understood that in critical situations, time is not just a variable, but the boundary between survival and loss. Thus, we created the first Romanian private company fully dedicated to air medical assistance, transforming a complex field into a continuous rescue mission.

My experience of over 15 years in the emergency system in Romania, doubled by over 10 years of expertise in the field of international medical transport by air and road, is the foundation on which we built this project.

Our commitment to scientific rigor is demonstrated by our constant participation in numerous international congresses in the field. A reference moment remains the Scientific Congress of the ERC (European Resuscitation Council) in Vienna in 2012, where we demonstrated the achievement of the highest rate of resuscitation in pre-hospital in Romania, a performance standard that we apply in every current mission.

At AMEGA, we have built an infrastructure that rivals the world's major centers, defined by the "bed-to-bed" concept. This means that my team's responsibility starts at the patient's bedside and ends only when they are safely handed over to their destination. We use aircraft equipped with state-of-the-art technology — mechanical ventilators and multi-parameter monitors — turning the cabin into a mobile intensive care unit (ICU).

As a market leader, we have taken on the role of setting standards in civil aviation medicine, offering Romanian patients safe options to elite clinics in Vienna, Istanbul or New York. Looking to the future, my commitment and that of the team remains unchanged: efficiency, transparency and humanity, making the impossible possible for every hopeful family.

Everything you need to know

How much does air medical transport cost?
+

Cost varies depending on several essential factors; each case is assessed individually.

Factors affecting the quote: distance and flight route, type of aircraft (medical jet, turboprop, etc.), patient's medical condition, medical crew configuration, equipment required on board, ECMO transport, international formalities and overflight/landing permits.

Indicative estimates:

  • European flights: from approximately €11,000 – €80,000
  • Intercontinental flights: can exceed €60,000 – €520,000

Repatriation with medical escort on scheduled flight (stretcher on board / business seat / extra seat): significantly lower costs. European flights from ~€7,000 – €30,000 (stretcher), ~€4,000 – €20,000 (business), ~€3,000 – €15,000 (extra seat); intercontinental may exceed these ranges.

For an exact quote, medical and logistical assessment of the request is required. Our team provides dedicated consultation and responds promptly, 24/7.

How quickly can a medical repatriation mission be organized?
+

On average, timing depends on how quickly medical documents and “Fit to Fly” or “Fit to Go” assessment are obtained:

  • Air ambulance: can take off within 6–24 hours.
  • Air medical escort on scheduled flights: depends on airline approvals (MEDIF form), usually 32–48 hours.
  • Road ambulance: estimated 2–10 hours depending on patient condition and oxygen consumption.
What does the “Bed-to-Bed” concept offered by AMEGA mean?
+

It is our full service that guarantees continuity of care: we pick up the patient by ambulance from the origin hospital bed, perform supervised air or road transport and hand them over directly to the medical team at destination.

Can a family member accompany the patient on the private flight?
+

Yes. Depending on aircraft type and space required for medical equipment, usually 1 or 2 escorts can travel free of charge with the patient.

What medical equipment is available on board the aircraft?
+

All our aircraft are equipped with mobile intensive care (ICU) units: mechanical ventilators, multiparameter monitors, defibrillators, infusion pumps and blood gas analysers, all EASA/FAA certified.

Who is part of the escort medical team?
+

The standard team consists of a flight doctor (ATI or Emergency specialist) and a flight nurse (nurse certified in aeromedical flights). For paediatric cases we include neonatology or paediatrics specialists.

Do you operate in any country?
+

We operate globally. We repatriate patients from Europe, Asia, America and Africa, with collaborations with renowned clinics in Turkey, Austria, Germany and Israel.

Only for international medical emergencies?

We are available 24/7. Every second counts in emergency situations.
