Transport of a critical patient from Bali to Singapore

Transporting a critical patient from Bali Indonesia to Singapore.

Bali Indonesia 

Bali is an Indonesian island known for its forested volcanic mountains, iconic rice paddies, beaches and coral reefs.

The island is home to religious sites such as cliffside Uluwatu Temple.

To the south, the beachside city of Kuta has lively bars, while Seminyak, Sanur, and Nusa Dua are popular resort towns

Bali though a great tourist place does not have good facilities for Medical emergencies.

If your loved one needs dialysis, you need to fly the patient to a tertiary care center in Singapore.
