Sousse has two major university hospitals in different neighbourhoods. Confusing Sahloul University Hospital with Farhat Hached University Hospital can delay a transfer. Here is how to identify the correct destination and prepare transport with EMS Ambulance.
Sahloul University Hospital is on the ring road in the Sahloul district. Farhat Hached University Hospital is on Ibn El Jazzar Avenue near the city centre. When contacting EMS, give the full hospital name and its district or avenue. See our Sousse ambulance page.
For a transfer between the two university hospitals or another facility, provide:
The clinical teams decide on transfer and determine departure time and monitoring requirements. EMS arranges transport according to those instructions.
The hospital discharge report, recent test results and prescription should accompany the patient. Prepare them before the agreed time to avoid delays. Confidential medical information is exchanged directly between the responsible professionals.
Both hospitals are in Sousse, so the journey is short, although no exact duration can be guaranteed. Inform the receiving ward of the expected arrival time and confirm that a place is available to avoid unnecessary waiting.
Patients from hospitals in Msaken, Kalâa Kebira or Enfidha may be referred to Sahloul or Farhat Hached. Always specify the exact receiving hospital and ward. See our interhospital transfer service.
Call EMS on +216 48 024 000 or contact us via WhatsApp, 24/7. A coordinator calls back within 10 minutes to check the route, patient needs and availability. A quote is provided before confirmation. See ambulance in Sousse, medical transport and request a quote.

Sousse brings together two university hospitals, a strip of hotels running all the way to Port El Kantaoui and a medina listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site: three settings with very different access constraints. Based in Monastir, the EMS team works regularly in Sousse and the surrounding towns, from Hammam Sousse to Kalâa Kebira, carrying out transfers between facilities, returns home and journeys to the airport.

Find out more03Patient transport covers care-related journeys that are not emergencies: a consultation, a test, a regular session, a planned admission or a return home. EMS arranges these and builds them around your medical timetable.
