Safe, Planned and Patient-Centred Transfer
Patient transport is a professional healthcare service covering the safe transfer of a patient from their location to a healthcare facility, from hospital to home, to another hospital or to a care home. Ambulance transfer can become a necessity especially for patients who cannot be carried in a standard vehicle, have limited mobility, need a stretcher, or require supervision by medical staff during the journey.
Emas Ambulans has provided patient transport ambulance services in Tekirdağ and its districts since 2019. We carry out local patient transport in central Tekirdağ as well as Çerkezköy, Çorlu, Kapaklı, Saray and the surrounding areas, and also organise planned intercity and international patient transfers when needed.
We treat every patient transport not as a standard transport job but as a process planned individually according to the patient’s condition and needs. The pick-up location, destination address, mobility, current condition and any support that may be needed during transfer are assessed in advance, and the appropriate ambulance and medical team are planned.
When Is a Patient Transport Ambulance Used?
A patient transport ambulance can be chosen for a range of medical and transport needs. Ambulance support can be planned especially when it is not appropriate for the patient to travel by their own means or in a standard vehicle.
Within our scope of service, we can plan services for needs such as:
- Patient transport from home to hospital
- Discharge transfer from hospital to home
- Planned inter-hospital transfer
- Transport to treatment and follow-up appointments
- Transfers to physiotherapy and rehabilitation centres
- Transfers to elderly care homes and nursing homes
- Transfer of patients who need to be carried on a stretcher
- Transport of patients with limited mobility
- Intercity patient transfer
- Planned international patient transport
The scope of each transfer is determined by the patient’s current condition and the distance to be travelled.
Home-to-Hospital Patient Transport
A home-to-hospital ambulance service can be arranged for patients who need to go to hospital for a check-up, treatment, tests, surgery or a planned medical procedure but cannot travel in a standard vehicle.
The patient is collected from their address by the medical team and positioned in the ambulance according to their needs. The necessary medical monitoring is carried out throughout the journey, and the patient is taken to the designated hospital or healthcare facility.
Especially for patients who need a stretcher, have difficulty walking or require supervision during the journey, planned ambulance transport helps the process run more smoothly for both the patient and their family.
Hospital-to-Home Patient Transport
Not every patient who has completed treatment or been discharged can return home in a standard vehicle. Ambulance transport from hospital to home can be planned for patients in the post-operative period, those who have been hospitalised for a long time, those with reduced mobility, or those who need to be carried on a stretcher.
Before the transfer, information about the patient’s general condition is obtained, and the ambulance and medical team are prepared accordingly. The patient is collected from the hospital and safely taken to the specified home address or care home.
This service can be used for short-distance transfers within Tekirdağ and can also be planned for transfers from other cities to Tekirdağ and the surrounding area.
Inter-Hospital Patient Transfer
When a patient needs to continue treatment at a different healthcare facility, inter-hospital patient transport can be used.
Ambulance transfer can be planned in situations such as changing the treatment centre, receiving care in a different specialty, moving to a private healthcare facility, or transferring the patient to a hospital in another city.
For inter-hospital transfers, the patient’s current condition and the support they may need during the journey are assessed in advance, and the appropriate team structure is established.
Fully Equipped Ambulance Fleet
For patient transport to be carried out safely, it is vital that the ambulance is suited to the transfer conditions.
Vehicles in the Emas Ambulans fleet are prepared for duty with the medical equipment and systems needed for patient transport. In line with the scope of service, our ambulances carry an oxygen system, patient-handling equipment, patient monitoring devices and the necessary medical supplies.
Any additional equipment that may be needed based on the patient’s current condition is assessed before the transfer.
Regular maintenance and inspection of our ambulances is an important part of operational safety, especially on long-distance transfers.
Experienced Medical Staff
In patient transport, the medical team on duty is as important a part of the process as the ambulance.
On transfers carried out by Emas Ambulans, medical staff are planned according to the patient’s condition and the scope of the transport. Our experienced medical team observes the patient throughout the journey and provides the necessary medical support when needed.
When making a transfer request, sharing the patient’s medical history, mobility, medical devices in use and any special needs helps prepare the right team and equipment.
Local Patient Transport
Planned patient transport can be carried out between homes, hospitals, care homes and other healthcare facilities in Tekirdağ and its districts.
In Tekirdağ, Çerkezköy, Çorlu, Kapaklı, Saray, Ergene, Süleymanpaşa, Marmaraereğlisi and the surrounding areas, ambulance transfer can be planned from the patient’s location to the designated destination.
For local patient transport, the service time, pick-up address and drop-off point are set in advance and the transfer is organised accordingly.
Intercity Patient Transport
Emas Ambulans also provides intercity patient transport from Tekirdağ and the surrounding area to other cities in Türkiye.
Planned patient transfers can be made to Istanbul, Edirne, Kırklareli, Bursa, Ankara, İzmir and other regions of Türkiye. Likewise, patient transport from other cities to Tekirdağ and its districts can also be organised.
For long-distance transport, a more comprehensive journey plan is prepared, taking into account the patient’s condition, the total travel time and the support they may need during the transfer.
International Patient Transport
Our patient transport services are not limited to transfers within Türkiye.
If the patient’s condition and travel conditions allow, planned ground ambulance transfers can be organised between Türkiye and European countries. Requests for Germany, Bulgaria, Romania, the Netherlands, Belgium, Austria and other European countries are assessed individually.
For international patient transport, the route, border crossings, required documents and transfer time are also included in the planning process.
How Is Patient Transport Planned?
When a patient transport request is made, the basic details of the service are obtained first.
For planning, the following are generally assessed:
- The patient’s address
- Destination
- Date and time of transfer
- The patient’s general medical condition
- Mobility
- Need for a stretcher or special carrying
- Medical devices in use
- Whether the transfer is local or intercity
Based on this information, the appropriate ambulance, medical staff and transfer plan are established.
How Are Patient Transport Ambulance Prices Determined?
Pricing for patient transport ambulance services varies with the scope of the transfer. There is no single fixed fee that applies to all patients and all routes.
When determining the fee, criteria such as:
- The pick-up address
- Destination
- Total distance
- Transfer duration
- The patient’s medical condition
- Required medical staff
- Equipment to be used
- Whether the transfer is local, intercity or international
are assessed.
For an exact price, it is enough to share the patient’s current location, destination and general condition.
