Ambulance in Enfidha and northern Sousse Governorate
Enfidha is an access point in northern Sousse Governorate, linking healthcare facilities, the A1 motorway and an international airport. Patients may need transport to a Sousse university hospital, Tunis or the airport. Based in Monastir, EMS arranges planned medical transport subject to availability.
Hospitals in Enfidha and Kalaâ Kebira serve patients in the north of the governorate. When the clinical team decides on transfer to Sahloul or Farhat Hached University Hospital in Sousse, it determines the time and monitoring requirements. Specify the sending ward, receiving hospital and clinician approving the transfer.
A1: the main transport corridor
The A1 motorway bypasses Sousse to the west and links Enfidha, Tunis and Sfax. From central Sousse, allow about 1 h 45 by road to Tunis, excluding breaks and congestion. For a patient lying down, smooth driving and possible breaks should be planned. These times are indicative.
Enfidha-Hammamet Airport
Enfidha-Hammamet International Airport is about 45 km from central Sousse, approximately 40 minutes by road via A1 in light traffic. Check the airport on the ticket. Provide the flight number and reporting time to plan departure from the hotel or hospital with a check-in margin. Airlines may require advance notice or a medical form for sick passengers or those with reduced mobility. See airport transfers and our Enfidha-Hammamet Airport article.
EMS is a private patient transport service and does not replace SAMU. For a life-threatening emergency, call 190 first.
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.
