How do you coordinate with the receiving hospital?

Before the flight lands we confirm the admission with the hospital or the patient's treating physician, share the arrival time, and hand over the medical documents that travelled with the patient. The crew delivers the patient to admissions or directly to the ward as instructed.

Can you handle critical patients arriving by air ambulance?

Yes — we regularly take over from air-ambulance and airline-stretcher arrivals. For ventilated or critical patients we position an ICU ambulance with a critical-care nurse at the airport, matched to the medical team's handover requirements.

Which airports and hospitals do you cover?

Every UAE airport — DXB, DWC, AUH, SHJ, RKT, FJR and AAN — to every hospital in the country: Cleveland Clinic Abu Dhabi, SSMC, Rashid Hospital, Mediclinic, Burjeel, NMC, Aster, Saudi German and all government facilities, in any emirate.

What happens if the flight is delayed or diverted?

We track the flight live and adjust dispatch automatically. If a flight diverts to another UAE airport, we re-route the ambulance — the country is small enough that one team covers every airport.

Who books this service — the patient, family or hospital?

Any of them. We take bookings from families, international assistance companies, hospitals and medical-tourism coordinators. Call or WhatsApp +971 55 472 8133 with the flight details and receiving facility to get a fixed quote.

Is the transfer available 24/7?

Yes — arrivals land at all hours, so our airport transfer crews operate around the clock, every day of the year.

Related journeys

Completing the round trip

When treatment finishes, the same team runs the journey in reverse: hospital-to-airport transfers for the flight home, medical escorts to accompany the patient in the cabin, and full medical repatriation coordination for international cases. Patients staying in the UAE to recover can move by hospital-to-home transfer with nursing care arranged at the destination.

UAE-wide coverage

Available in every emirate

One dispatch team covers every airport and every hospital in the country — a DXB arrival to a Sharjah hospital, an AUH arrival to Cleveland Clinic, or any other pairing.

EMRS operates across the entire United Arab Emirates — Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ajman, Ras Al Khaimah, Fujairah and Umm Al Quwain — including Al Ain and every city, suburb and free zone in between. One dispatch number covers the whole country, 24 hours a day.

FAQ

Airport to hospital transfers — FAQs

Yes. We meet the patient at the aircraft or arrivals handover point, and drive them directly to the receiving hospital — which we notify in advance so admission is expected. This is the standard route for medical-tourism arrivals and for patients flying in for planned surgery or treatment.
