Safe and Planned Patient Transfer over Long Distances
Intercity patient transport is a planned healthcare service that requires the patient’s current condition, journey time and the medical support they may need during transfer to be assessed together. For patients who cannot travel in a standard vehicle, have limited mobility, or must be transported under the supervision of medical staff, intercity ambulance transfer is an important solution.
As Emas Ambulans, we have provided intercity patient transport from Tekirdağ and its districts to other cities in Türkiye since 2019. We carry out planned patient transfers from central Tekirdağ as well as Çerkezköy, Çorlu, Kapaklı, Saray and the surrounding areas to Istanbul, Ankara, İzmir, Bursa, Edirne, Kırklareli and other cities across Türkiye.
We treat each transfer not as a standard journey but as a process planned individually around the patient’s needs. The patient’s address, destination city, current condition, mobility and the support they may need en route are assessed in advance, and the appropriate ambulance and medical team are assigned.
How Is Intercity Ambulance Patient Transport Carried Out?
The first stage of an intercity ambulance transfer is assessing the patient’s general condition and travel conditions. The pick-up is planned according to whether the patient is at home, in hospital, in a care home or at another healthcare facility.
Before the transfer, the following are assessed:
- The patient’s location
- Destination city and address
- The patient’s general medical condition
- Mobility
- Medical equipment currently in use
- Medical support that may be needed during the journey
- Hospital or care home handover details
Based on this information, the appropriate ambulance, medical staff and transfer plan are prepared. On long-distance transfers, every stage of the journey is planned in advance so that the patient can travel as safely and comfortably as possible.
Long-Distance Transfers in Fully Equipped Ambulances
Our ambulances used for intercity patient transport are prepared with the medical equipment and carrying systems the transfer requires.
In line with the scope of service, our ambulances carry an oxygen system, patient-handling equipment, medical monitoring and intervention devices, and the necessary medical supplies. Any additional equipment the patient may need based on their current condition is assessed before the transfer.
On long journeys, it is important not only to have medical equipment but also to position the patient safely throughout the journey and manage the transfer in a controlled manner. That is why the transfer conditions are assessed and appropriate preparations are made before the patient is loaded into the ambulance.
Regular maintenance and inspection of our ambulance fleet is also an important part of intercity operations.
Transfer Accompanied by Experienced Medical Staff
For intercity patient transport, the medical team is planned according to the patient’s needs and the scope of service. Our experienced medical staff monitor the patient’s condition throughout the journey and provide the necessary medical support when needed.
The patient’s current condition is assessed before the transfer, and the medical support they may need during the journey is determined. Where necessary, the team and equipment can be planned specifically for the patient.
At Emas Ambulans, we approach intercity patient transfer not merely as a transport service, but as a professional process in which the ambulance, medical staff, medical equipment and operational coordination work together.
Intercity Patient Transport from Hospital to Home
For patients who have completed treatment or been discharged but are not fit to travel a long distance in a standard vehicle, an intercity ambulance service from hospital to home can be arranged.
For example, a patient who has completed treatment in Istanbul can be transported by ambulance to Tekirdağ, Çerkezköy, Çorlu or another city.
At pick-up from the hospital, the necessary information is passed on to the medical team, and the patient is properly loaded into the ambulance and transferred to the designated address.
Intercity Ambulance from Home to Hospital
For patients who have an appointment for treatment, a check-up or a planned procedure at a hospital or healthcare facility in another city, an intercity ambulance transfer from home to hospital can be arranged.
Professional ambulance transfer may be preferred especially for patients with limited mobility, those who need to be carried on a stretcher, or those who may need medical supervision during the journey.
The patient is collected from home, taken to the designated healthcare facility and handed over to the relevant department according to the transfer plan.
Inter-Hospital Patient Transfer
A patient may need to be transferred in a planned manner from their current healthcare facility to a hospital in another city. Inter-hospital transfer can be planned in cases such as continuing treatment at another centre, moving to a specialist facility, or transferring to a different hospital preferred by the patient and their family.
In such transfers, sharing information about the patient’s current condition and having the patient’s relatives or the relevant institution confirm admission at the receiving facility in advance helps the process run more smoothly.
Transfers to Care Homes and Rehabilitation Centres
Ambulance services can also be used for intercity transfers to elderly care homes, rehabilitation centres, physiotherapy facilities and long-term care centres.
Transfer conditions are assessed in advance so that the patient can be collected from their current institution and safely brought to a care or rehabilitation centre in another city.

There is no single fixed fee that applies to all intercity ambulance transfers. Pricing is determined by the characteristics of the operation.
The main factors affecting the price are:
- The city where the patient will be collected
- Destination
- Total road distance
- The patient’s medical condition
- Required medical staff
- Medical equipment that needs to be used
- The overall scope of the transfer service
For an exact price, it is enough to share the patient’s location, the destination address and information about their general condition. Based on this information, an appropriate service plan and price quote can be prepared.
