Cost of air-ambulance from Dhaka

[Jadukor]

Does anyone know what is the cost of flying out critical patients out of Dhaka?
and the process?

This is due to a family emergency. My sister in law suffered brain hemorrhage this morning and is in critical condition at Apollo ICU and she needs O negative blood as well. We are considering any options to save her life.

Any suggestion from you guys would be great for me at this time

What's the cause? Is she under a good neurosurgeon's care. Is ventriculostomy indicated?

My prayers for her and the family.

It came as a surprise but she had been taking medicine for high blood pressure for awhile now. The initial CT scan showed hemorrhage at two places and now she will under go a surgery. What i heard is that the doctors will attempt to remove portion of her skull for drainage.

I have a 7 year old niece and a 1 year old nephew... this is the very definition of a nightmare scenario for me.

Thoughts with the family. Ok, looks like they might perform a ventriculostomy. have they identified the cause?

I saw this post on another forum. They are called R&R Aviation. I am sure people based at Dhaka can give you names of other companies name. Personally I have no idea of their service, you would have do a quick research.

Just saw this thread too. My thoughts and prayers are with your family too Iftekhar bhai. I hope her medical procedures in Bangkok are going well?

[Jadukor]

She will reach this evening accompanied by the doctor that would be treating her. We are trying to do as much as humanly possible to save her life as a family. She suffered severe hemorrhage both at the center and left side of the brain and so the path forward will be very very difficult for us even with the best treatment.
