From Zaghouan: Tunis or the Sahel?

Zaghouan has a rare advantage: both the capital and the Sahel are within reach. Tunis is about 1 hour by road, Sousse about 1 h 20 and Monastir, where EMS is based, about 1 h 45. EMS Ambulance arranges transport from Zaghouan, El Fahs, Bir Mcherga, Nadhour, Zriba and Saouaf, 24/7, subject to availability. The key is choosing the right destination.

Choosing the receiving hospital

Transfers from Zaghouan Regional Hospital may go to Tunis, Sousse or Monastir. The decision depends on the receiving ward rather than distance alone.

  • Tunis: about 1 hour by road.
  • Sousse: about 1 h 20 by road.
  • Monastir: about 1 h 45 by road.

These are indicative times depending on traffic. For regular care, consider family visits and the return journey. Give EMS the chosen facility and ward. See interhospital transfers.

Consultations and regular treatment sessions

Patients travelling several times a week to Tunis or Sousse for treatment or tests need reliable schedules. EMS arranges outward and return journeys around the service timetable. Send the schedule in advance to request preferred slots, subject to confirmation.

Two airports about an hour away

Enfidha-Hammamet is about 55 km from Zaghouan and Tunis-Carthage about 65 km, roughly one hour by road depending on traffic. The ticket determines the airport, not distance: provide the booked airport and check-in time. EMS arranges ground transport to the terminal. See airport ambulance transfers.

Returning home to Zaghouan or El Fahs

After hospitalisation in Tunis or the Sahel, prepare the return with confirmed discharge time, floor and home access details. For a farm or rural hamlet around El Fahs or Saouaf, provide a landmark and relative's contact. See hospital discharge and return home.
