From Gujarat to Delhi: A Cross-State ICU Transfer Story

In the critical world of healthcare, time and coordination can mean the difference between life and death. For a 48-year-old man from Surat, Gujarat, suffering from severe respiratory failure, local facilities could only stabilize his condition temporarily. His family, desperate for advanced treatment, decided to shift him to a super-specialty hospital in Delhi. The challenge? He was ICU-bound and couldn’t travel alone.

This is where a professional ICU transfer service became a lifeline. Patel Ambulance coordinated the entire transfer process—right from arranging an air ambulance equipped with ventilator support to deploying a specialized medical team including a critical care doctor and nurse. The team ensured every second of the journey was medically supervised and responsive to the patient’s needs.

"The ambulance service didn’t just handle the flight. From door-to-door, the patient was under constant observation—first in a ground ambulance in Surat, then through the flight, and finally via another ambulance from Delhi airport to the hospital. Every handover was seamless, backed by precise communication and preparedness."
