Ambulance in Haffouz, Sbikha and Oueslatia: delegations of Kairouan Governorate
Kairouan Governorate extends far beyond its capital. Haffouz, Sbikha and Oueslatia are among the delegations where journeys to a university hospital are longer. Based in Monastir, EMS provides scheduled patient transport in these delegations.
Providing a usable address
Addresses in the delegations may be approximate. Provide the most accurate address possible with a familiar landmark, such as a mosque, pharmacy or school. Mention if access is via an unpaved track (see our article on Bouhajla and Hajeb El Ayoun).
Returning after hospitalisation
After hospitalisation in Sousse, Monastir or Sfax, the return to the delegation should be prepared as soon as the discharge date is known. As the journey is longer, early notice is preferable. Prepare for arrival: a relative present, a bed ready and clear access to the room. See hospital discharge and return home.
Information to provide
- Delegation and address with a familiar landmark.
- Destination (university hospital or home) and appointment time.
- Patient mobility: seated, wheelchair or stretcher.
- A reachable contact.
How to arrange transport
Contact EMS on +216 48 024 000 or WhatsApp, 24/7. A coordinator calls back within 10 minutes and then sends a quote: transport is confirmed only after your agreement. See private ambulance in Kairouan.
For a life-threatening emergency, call SAMU first on 190. EMS is a private medical transport service and does not replace public emergency services.
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.

Ambulance in Kairouan
Kairouan is an inland city, with no coastline and no airport of its own, about an hour by road from Sousse. Many of the patient transports here link the city of the Aghlabids with the university hospitals of the Sahel, Sfax or Tunis, and then bring patients back home. Based in Monastir, the EMS team works regularly in Kairouan and across its governorate on these planned journeys.

Discharge dates are often decided late and then move quickly. EMS arranges the journey home after a stay in hospital or a clinic, taking account of the patient's condition and of the conditions on arrival at the address.
