Tataouine is the largest governorate in Tunisia, and distances within it already amount to a long journey. Remada is more than an hour by road from the town, and Dehiba about two hours. EMS arranges your ambulance journeys from Tataouine, Ghomrassen, Bir Lahmar, Smâr, Remada and Dehiba, 24/7, with a call back in under 10 minutes.
Transfers from Tataouine hospital to Medenine, Gabès or Sfax
From Tataouine Regional Hospital, Medenine is about 1 h by road, Gabès about 2 h and Sfax about 4 h. The choice depends on the department receiving the patient. We coordinate the timing with both facilities.
For an address in Remada, Dehiba or an isolated area, the journey begins with a long approach. Give us the exact address, a simple landmark and the number of a relative on site. If the track is difficult, we agree on a meeting point that a medical vehicle can reach.
Over these distances, the patient must be monitored continuously. Our patient compartments carry a monitor, a defibrillator, oxygen and a transport ventilator. In summer, we prefer to set off in the cooler hours of the day, in an air-conditioned compartment.
Chenini, Ksar Ouled Soltane and Douiret draw visitors all year round. If one of them needs to be repatriated, Djerba-Zarzis Airport is about 2 h 30 by road. We organise the road leg together with the insurer or assistance company.
