What types of patient transfers do you handle?

Hospital-to-hospital transfers, hospital-to-home discharges, clinic-to-hospital escalations, airport medical transfers, and long-distance inter-emirate patient transfers — plus ventilated ICU transfers in our mobile intensive care units.

How fast can you arrange a patient transfer?

Urgent transfers dispatch within 30–60 minutes in Dubai. Scheduled transfers should be booked 2–4 hours in advance for guaranteed timing; recurring and advance bookings are welcome.

Can you transfer a patient on a ventilator?

Yes. Ventilated patients travel in our ICU ambulances, equipped with transport ventilators and staffed by ICU-trained nurses. See our ICU ambulance page for details.

Do you provide stretcher and wheelchair transport?

Yes — both. We match the vehicle to the patient: wheelchair-accessible vans for seated patients, stretcher ambulances for those who must lie down, and bariatric equipment when needed.

Is patient transfer covered by insurance?

Many insurers cover medically necessary transfers. We provide all documentation required for claims — transfer records, clinical notes and itemised receipts.

Do you coordinate directly with hospitals?

Yes. Our team liaises with ward staff, case managers and receiving facilities so discharge paperwork, timing and clinical handover all happen smoothly — families don't need to manage the logistics.

Transfer types

Every kind of patient transfer, handled end-to-end

Hospital-to-Hospital Transfers

Planned moves between facilities for specialist care, insurance network changes, or family preference.

Hospital-to-Home Discharge

Comfortable, assisted journeys home after treatment, with stretcher service to the patient's own bed.

Clinic-to-Hospital Escalation

Prompt transfers when a clinic visit reveals something needing hospital care.

Airport Medical Transfers

Meeting arriving medical travellers at DXB, DWC or AUH and transferring them to hospital or hotel.

Inter-Emirate Transfers

Long-distance patient transfers between Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, and the Northern Emirates.

Ventilated & ICU Transfers

Critical patients move in our dedicated mobile ICU with critical-care nurses on board.

Continuity of care

Support that continues after the transfer

A discharge is often the start of recovery at home, not the end of care. Alongside transfers, the same EMRS team provides home nursing, physiotherapy at home, doctor home visits and blood tests at home — so the patient we bring home keeps getting professional care without returning to hospital. For recurring journeys like dialysis, our NEMT service runs fixed weekly schedules.
