Moreover, we have incorporated a digital platform that coordinate’s the entire transfer system to ensure seamless and simple delivery services.” Currently, UMTS is attempting to recover from the impact of Covid-19, with travel restrictions heavily affecting its service delivery. With the addition of mandatory quarantine and other imposed restrictions through other surrounding countries, UMTS’s medical team has faced several problems concerning travelling and vaccinations. However, with challenges, opportunities arise and have allowed the company to work closely with embassies and government departments, which has opened new markets for UMTS to explore. Additionally, UMTS has begun doing intense critical care transfers, enlightening the company to new prospects. Nijil explains, “It was a new horizon for us, where we untapped and dared to touch territories uncharted in the aviation medicine industry within the UAE.” For UMTS, the transferring of covid-positive patients’ and repatriation to restricted territory was prevalent and in trend during the several lockdowns in the industry. While it did affect business in terms of volume and restriction, UMTS recognised the silver lining and was rewarded with the addition of experience and expertise. With the main focus on keeping the quality of its service unwavering, the team at UMTS continues to stand out amongst competitors. Due to this recent recognition and international appreciation, UMTS is currently exploring the Saudi and Egypt markets and is expected to have its first offices in these locations by the end of 2022. Proudly at the forefront of the industry, UMTS is the leading international patient transfer service company within the UAE. With that, the company aims to become a globally renowned fully-fledged medical assistance company within the next few years.
