Why You Should Hire A Long-Distance Ambulance Transport Company

For patients in non-emergency medical conditions and who need to travel long distances for personal reasons or a recommended transfer to another medical facility, employing the services of long-distance medical transport service is a practical and safe option.

Some individuals opt for conventional recreational vehicles (RVs) for transporting their ill-loved ones. However, this might not provide the quiet and comfort that they require. However, on a standard long-distance ambulance vehicle, there are specific medical equipment and support staff that are made available to ensure that both the personal and medical needs of the patients are adequately catered for.

Cost is often a key factor when deciding what mode of long-distance medical transport for yourself, a patient, or a loved one. Airborne ambulances are quicker and relatively more convenient than their land counterparts. However, they are also more expensive. For the most part, the advantages of transporting a patient via an ambulance transport service greatly outweigh its cost.

As against RVs or other forms of private or public transportation, below are compelling reasons why you should consider hiring a long-distance ambulance transport service.

Provision of correct medical equipment

When moving a patient from one medical facility to a distant other, comfort isn’t the only factor to be put into consideration. Planned medical provisions also have to be made for such patients. This might include the provision of oxygen supplies, life-saving medical equipment, equipment for patients that need dialysis, and a place to restore motorized wheelchairs. On the other hand, regular RVs will struggle to fit this equipment under the recommended environment standards.

Trained medical personnel

If the patient engages the expertise and services of an ambulance company, the patient can find comfort in the fact that they will be accompanied by at least one trained medical personnel that can respond quickly if any medical issue requires attention during the trip. Knowing that a qualified medical staff that can speedily and correctly provide professional CPR, carry out routine check-ups, and handles a series of other medical cases that may arise during the journey is both comforting and reassuring for the patient.

Trained and Licensed Drivers

Drivers contracted by these ambulance companies are usually professionally licensed and certified as against regular buses or RVs. These drivers are generally trained in defensive driving and are cautious behind the wheels. Also, the drivers are usually not overworked; consequently, the risk of hiring a dozing driver is reduced to the barest minimum if not totally eliminated.

Well-maintained vehicles

Long-distance ambulance transport companies place a significant priority on the safety of any transported patients. Consequently, the vehicle used for their services are usually well maintained and serviced periodically. While there is a rare possibility of a vehicle breaking down unexpectedly, swift plans will be made to ensure that the comfort and safety of the patient are not compromised.

Opting for the services of a long-distance ambulance transport company may cost a little more than a regular RV or public transport. However, you cannot put a price on both the safety and well-being of the transported patient. Patients can be sure to get proper medical attention and documented handover as soon as they arrive at their destination.

The often-customized ambulances also offer enough room for at least a family member to accompany the patient on the trip. Long-distance trips can be tedious for people that aren’t in the best physical condition. However, with the expertise of an ambulance transport company, you can be sure that your loved ones are in trusted and qualified hands.
