Stretcher transport is a non-emergency medical transportation service for patients who need to lie down while traveling but do not require urgent, life-saving care during the trip. It provides safe, comfortable transfers for planned hospital visits, medical appointments, or moving patients between facilities.
An emergency ambulance, on the other hand, is designed for urgent medical situations. It’s equipped with advanced life-support equipment and staffed by paramedics ready to provide immediate critical care on the way to the hospital. If there’s no medical emergency but the patient can’t sit or use a wheelchair, stretcher transport is the safe, cost-effective alternative.
