Medical Air Transport Services
All services available 24/7 from Varanasi
Varanasi generates a distinctive medical air demand profile — a high proportion of patients are elderly visitors from across India and overseas, with elevated rates of cardiac events, strokes, and exertion-related emergencies. BHU Heritage Hospital and SunRise Hospital serve as primary coordination partners for outbound transfers. The Lucknow SGPGI corridor (45 minutes) handles specialist referrals within UP, while Delhi AIIMS (80 minutes) handles the most complex cardiac and neurosurgical cases.
