The European Commission (DG ECHO and DG SANTE) has set up a standard operating procedure for the medical evacuation of Ukrainian people in need of urgent medical care.
Next to ad-hoc organised operations, Pre-planned flights for groups of MEDEVAC patients have been taking place twice per week since mid-August, using a medicalised plane offered by Norway. MEDEVAC operations are centrally coordinated by the ERCC and by European countries’ MEDEVAC liaison officers, who are embedded in the ERCC.
The EU MEDEVAC Hub, supported by ERCC liaison officers and European countries’ experts, has been operating in Poland since 9 September 2022. The main objective of the hub is to support MEDEVAC operations through the UCPM.
