    Typical transfers

    When hospitals and families call our ICU ambulance

    Most ICU transfers happen when a patient needs a higher level of care, a specialist procedure at another facility, or repatriation closer to family. We routinely handle ICU-to-ICU moves between Dubai's private and government hospitals, transfers from the Northern Emirates into Dubai and Abu Dhabi tertiary centres, and airport handovers for international air-ambulance repatriations. For stable patients who don't need intensive care, our patient transfer service or non-emergency transport may be more appropriate — our dispatch team will advise honestly which level you need.

    FAQ

    ICU ambulance — FAQs

    An ICU ambulance is a mobile intensive care unit equipped with ventilators, cardiac monitors, infusion pumps, suction and defibrillators, staffed by ICU-trained nurses and paramedics. It allows critically ill patients to be moved between facilities while receiving the same level of monitoring and support as a hospital ICU.
