Intercity Ambulance Service

Moving a patient from one city to another is a different job from a quick trip across town. The vehicle has to match the patient for hours, not minutes, and the paperwork and bed at the other end need sorting before you leave. Doctor Ambulance runs intercity and long distance patient transfers from Rawalpindi and Islamabad, 24 hours a day.

To plan a transfer, call 0336 291 4741 or 0345 570 4719, or send a WhatsApp with both addresses and the patient’s condition.

Which ambulance for a long trip?

Be honest about the patient’s condition, because distance changes the choice. A stable patient who needs to lie flat can go in a patient transfer ambulance. Someone who needs breathing support needs an oxygen ambulance. A heart patient needs a cardiac monitor. A critical or ventilated patient needs an ICU and ventilator ambulance. Our guide on which ambulance you need explains the difference.

Before you leave

1. Ask the treating doctor whether the patient is fit for the trip and what support they need on the way.
2. Call the receiving hospital and confirm they are expecting the patient, ideally with a bed, or an ICU bed if needed.
3. Put the referral or discharge summary, reports, scans, medicine list and ID card in one folder.
4. Book the ambulance as early as you can, especially for ventilated patients.

The full checklist is in our guide to hospital to hospital patient transfer.

Cost of an intercity ambulance

The price depends mainly on the type of ambulance and the distance. Ask for the full price on the call before booking. Our post on ambulance charges in Pakistan explains what affects it.
