Perched at around 780 m above sea level, Le Kef is not linked to any motorway. Every transfer to Tunis or the Sahel is therefore a long journey that has to be prepared. EMS arranges your ambulance journeys from Le Kef, Dahmani, Tajerouine, Sakiet Sidi Youssef, Nebeur, Sers and Kalaat Senan. A coordinator calls you back less than 10 minutes after your request, 24/7.
The most frequent journey links Le Kef’s Mohamed Bourguiba Regional Hospital with a specialist department in the capital. On the RN5, through Téboursouk, Testour and Medjez el-Bab, allow about 2 h 30 by road. For a 9 am appointment in Tunis, departure is often before 6 am. We set the time with the receiving department.
On a journey of more than two hours, monitoring matters more than speed. Our patient compartments carry a patient monitor, a defibrillator, oxygen and a transport ventilator. The level of nursing support is agreed with you, according to what the patient’s condition requires.
Not all specialist care is found in Tunis. From Le Kef, Kairouan is about 2 h 40 by road and Monastir about 3 h 45. These journeys are prepared as long-distance transports: a planned rest stop, blankets on board in winter, and a schedule set around the admission time.
After a hospital stay in Tunis or the Sahel, a return to Le Kef or to a town or village in the governorate depends on the discharge time confirmed by the ward. Give us the precise address, the state of the access road if it is a dirt track, and the name of the relative who will receive the patient.
In winter, fog and black ice can slow traffic on the RN5 and on the mountain roads around Kalaat Senan or Sakiet Sidi Youssef. We keep track of road conditions and prefer a daytime departure whenever possible. If a road is closed, we suggest another time or an accessible meeting point.
