BLOG · EMS AMBULANCE
For a journey to or from Abderrahmen Mami Hospital, three details matter: the receiving ward, the agreed time and the prescribed oxygen flow if the patient uses oxygen. EMS arranges transport 24/7 and provides a quote before confirmation. This hospital in Ariana is known particularly for respiratory medicine. See our [Ariana ambulance page](page:ariana).
Plan the transport around the appointment and the receiving ward's agreed time. Provide the ward, expected arrival time and an on-site contact. For patients travelling from another region, contact EMS a few days ahead if possible to allow for travel time and Greater Tunis traffic.
Oxygen therapy does not automatically require a fully medicalised ambulance. A stable patient on long-term oxygen may travel with an appropriate supply in planned patient transport if clinically approved. A risk of deterioration or closer monitoring may require medicalised transport.
Tell EMS:
Oxygen supplies must cover loading, travel, possible waits and handover with a safety margin checked by qualified staff. Family members must not change the prescribed flow. See our oxygen transport page.
Transfers may involve a clinic around Ennasr, a Tunis hospital or Abderrahmen Mami Hospital itself. Confirm before departure:
The patient and records are handed over to the designated ward staff. See our hospital transfer service.
Prepare the journey before the patient leaves the room. For an apartment, specify the floor, lift size and parking access so appropriate carrying equipment can be planned.
For a patient going home on oxygen, check that the following are ready on arrival:
For another region, plan oxygen autonomy and possible breaks.
Relatives abroad can organise transport remotely by phone or WhatsApp in French, Arabic or English. Provide an on-site contact and the name of the person meeting the crew.
Tunis-Carthage Airport is close to La Soukra and Ennasr, although journey times depend on traffic. For air travel, transport is coordinated with flight timing and airline requirements.
Call +216 48 024 000 or message EMS on WhatsApp with both addresses, the date, the agreed ward time and any prescribed oxygen flow. You can also request a quote. The quote reflects the route, equipment and access and is provided before confirmation.
EMS is a private medical transport service and does not replace SAMU. For severe breathing difficulty or sudden deterioration, call 190 immediately rather than waiting for a WhatsApp reply.
In a life-threatening emergency or an acute deterioration, contact the competent public emergency services immediately. A request sent by form or WhatsApp does not confirm a transport booking.
Contact EMS with the pickup address, receiving ward and agreed time. A quote is sent before confirmation.
Not always. A stable patient may travel with an appropriate oxygen supply if approved by the clinical team. The choice depends on the patient's condition and medical instructions.
Yes, EMS arranges journeys from regions across Tunisia depending on patient needs and availability. Contact us as soon as the admission date is known.

Every request is assessed to define the means suited to the patient's condition, the length of the journey, the prescribed flow rate and the level of monitoring required.
Find out more03An inter-facility transfer involves two institutions, each with its own timetable and constraints. EMS handles the link between them and moves the patient from one ward to the other.
Find out more04There is no single rate for medical transport. The price is built from the actual journey and the resources it requires, which is why we produce a quote for every request.
