Emergency vs. Non-Emergency Ambulance Transport: When and Who to Call

In Dubai, the availability of efficient and reliable ambulance services is crucial for ensuring the safety and well-being of residents and tourists alike. However, understanding the difference between emergency and non-emergency ambulance transport is essential to making informed decisions, utilizing these services appropriately, and knowing when to call an ambulance.

Emergency Ambulance Transport: A Matter of Life and Death

When faced with a critical medical situation that poses an immediate threat to life or limb, emergency ambulance transport is the most appropriate course of action. These situations may include:

In such emergencies, calling 998 is the quickest and most effective way to request an emergency medical services (EMS) ambulance. The trained paramedics on board these ambulances are equipped with advanced life support equipment and have the expertise to stabilize patients and transport them to the nearest hospital for critical care.

Non-Emergency Ambulance Transport: A Convenient and Safe Option

For medical conditions that do not require immediate emergency care but still warrant transportation to a healthcare facility or to any destination, non-emergency ambulance transport is a viable option. This service is typically used for:

Scheduled medical appointments: When patients require transportation to or from healthcare facilities for routine check-ups, treatments, or procedures.
Non-urgent medical conditions: Illnesses or injuries that are not life-threatening but still require medical attention.
Airport or air ambulance: This service is for patients travelling abroad who need transportation from home or hospital or anywhere to the airport.
Elderly or disabled individuals: Those who may have difficulty using public transportation or require assistance with mobility.

To request a non-emergency ambulance, contact EMAHS Ambulance Services, which is authorized by the Dubai Corporation for Ambulance Services (DCAS).
