ANKAR Specialist Medical Rescue Centre
Medical transport from abroad to Poland — 24 hours a day
English-speaking paramedics and dispatchers. We arrange the documentation, the crew, and the route — so your family doesn't have to navigate it alone.
Why families choose ANKAR
Arranging transport from a foreign hospital is stressful enough without a language barrier. ANKAR is a family-run operation — our roots go back to the 1990s in international road transport and logistics, long before we became a dedicated medical rescue service in 2016.
We speak English
Our dispatchers and medical crew communicate directly with you and the foreign hospital — no interpreter, no delays.
We handle the paperwork
From the first call, we gather medical documentation and liaise directly with the treating doctor abroad.
NFZ & insurance support
We work with private insurers and assistance companies, and advise on reimbursement through Poland's NFZ.
Modern, monitored ambulances
Pneumatic suspension, continuous vital-sign monitoring, oxygen and IV medication on every long-distance route.
Room for family
Whenever medically possible, one accompanying person travels alongside the patient.
Fast dispatch
A medical crew can typically be arranged within hours of your first call, any day, any time.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need to speak Polish to arrange transport?
No. Our team communicates in English throughout the entire process — from the first call to arrival in Poland.
Can transport costs be reimbursed?
In many cases, yes — through private insurance, assistance companies, or in some circumstances the Polish NFZ. We help you understand your options and provide the documentation needed for a claim.
Can a family member travel with the patient?
Yes, whenever the patient's medical condition allows it, we make room for one accompanying person.
How quickly can you organize transport?
We can typically dispatch a medical crew within hours of the first call, depending on the patient's location and condition.
What if the patient needs a doctor on board, not just paramedics?
We offer three levels of medical crew depending on the severity of the case — including a doctor and two paramedics for critical patients.
