Ground ambulance
Global Ground Ambulance Assistance
Not every move needs an aircraft. Many patients need a safe ground transfer: from one hospital to another, to and from the airport, or home after discharge.
Azor arranges ground ambulance transfers worldwide, with a medical crew and equipment matched to the patient's condition, from a paramedic for a stable patient to an intensive-care team for a critical one.
Because the same Alarm Center desk coordinates every leg, the ground transfer lines up with the flight, the hospital and the family, so nobody is left waiting at the kerb.

Questions
Global Ground Ambulance Assistance FAQs
What kind of ambulance will be sent?
It depends on the patient. We match the vehicle, crew and equipment to the patient's condition, from basic transport with a paramedic to intensive-care transfer.
Can you arrange long-distance or cross-border ground transfers?
Yes, where it is safe and permitted. For long distances we will also tell you if a flight would be better for the patient.
Can a family member ride along?
Usually one family member can travel with the patient, space and safety permitting.
Do you work with insurers on ground transfers?
Yes. We liaise with your insurer on approval and payment.
