India's vast and diverse geography — from the Himalayan ranges to coastal belts, deserts to dense urban hubs — often presents logistical challenges when medical emergencies strike. Whether it's a remote village lacking healthcare access or a metropolitan city choked by traffic, time-sensitive patient transport can mean the difference between life and death.
That's where Bharat Aeromedical Retrieval Service (BARS) steps in.

An elderly woman in Imphal suffered a severe stroke. The local facility lacked neurosurgical capability. Within 90 minutes, our team was airborne from Kolkata with an ICU-configured King Air C90. Mid-air, the patient was managed on ventilator support with in-flight thrombolysis monitoring. Upon landing in Hyderabad, she was transferred directly to the emergency bay at a super-specialty hospital. Her treatment began within the golden window. Today, she is undergoing rehab and walking again.
