Medenine is the crossroads of south-eastern Tunisia: the roads from Gabès, Djerba, Zarzis, Tataouine and Ben Gardane all meet here. EMS arranges your ambulance transport from Medenine, Ben Gardane, Beni Khedache and Sidi Makhlouf, 24/7. For Djerba and Zarzis, see our dedicated pages.
Transfers from Medenine hospital to Gabès, Sfax or the Sahel
From the Habib Bourguiba University Hospital in Medenine, Gabès is about 1 h by road and Sfax about 2 h 30 to 3 h. For a specialist department in the Sahel, allow about 4 h to Sousse or Monastir. We coordinate the timing with both the discharging and the receiving departments.
Ben Gardane is about 1 h by road from Medenine. Transfers leave for Medenine, Gabès or Sfax, depending on the department. Give us the exact address, a simple landmark and a number that can be reached on site.
Djerba-Zarzis Airport is about 1 h 30 to 1 h 45 by road from Medenine, via the El Kantara causeway. We time the departure around the flight’s check-in time and the airline’s requirements for a passenger travelling lying down. For a medical repatriation, we deal directly with the insurer.
For a journey of several hours to Sfax or the Sahel, we send an ambulance equipped with a patient monitor, a defibrillator, oxygen and a transport ventilator. For a patient on oxygen, tell us the prescribed flow rate: the supply is calculated on the actual length of the journey.
