Individual contracts may be extended to the partners, reducing the individual burden of auditing for each company. Sharing network and market knowledge allows for a greater overview of an ever-changing field of business
Air Ambulance
Due to the large number of international cases across the globe, repatriations in all their forms within the Astrum network occur on a regular basis. Trustworthy and high-quality service providers are extremely important here.
By bundling volume, choosing and regularly auditing trusted service providers jointly, we were able to improve price and performance. In addition, we implement the idea of sustainability by actively looking for the possibility of patient pooling – data driven attempt to repatriate two individual patients at once
