Premature and critically ill newborns need specialist care from their very first hours. When the right neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) is in another city or country, a safe transfer is essential.
Azor Assistance coordinates neonatal care and newborn medical transport, with a specialist medical team, transport incubator and ventilator support from hospital to hospital.
We also stand by families throughout, liaising with NICU teams, handling documents and travel, and keeping parents informed at every step.
Questions
Neonatal transport FAQs
When does a newborn need specialist transport?
When a premature or critically ill baby needs a level of neonatal intensive care (NICU) that is not available where they were born, a safe transfer to the right unit is essential.
Who travels with the baby?
A specialist neonatal medical team travels with the baby, typically a neonatal doctor and nurse, with a transport incubator, ventilator support and continuous monitoring.
Can parents travel with their baby?
Where space and safety allow, we plan for a parent to travel. Either way, we arrange travel and stay support for parents and keep them informed at every step.
Do you work with insurers?
Yes. We liaise with insurers and hospitals on documents and approvals so parents can focus on their baby.
