Answers

Frequently asked questions

Which type of transport is right for me?

That depends on your state of health. We use stretcher transport when sitting is not possible or not reasonable — for example after surgery or in severe pain. You travel in a wheelchair if you can sit but cannot walk. Seated transport is suitable for medically stable patients who only need help getting in and out. If in doubt, give us a call — we will clarify it in two minutes.

Do you also travel outside Basel?

Yes. Our core area is Basel-Stadt, Basel-Landschaft and north-western Switzerland. We drive throughout Switzerland and, through our medical repatriation service, to other European countries as well.

Can I set up regular journeys in advance?

Yes. For recurring journeys such as dialysis, therapy or a sheltered workshop, we set up a fixed schedule with the same weekdays and times. Give us a call and we will arrange it.

IVR/IAS Quality Recognition — Approved Medical Transport, quality seal of Mobimed Patiententransport
Verified, not just claimed

The first IVR-recognised patient transport service in north-western Switzerland

Recognition by the Swiss Interassociation for Rescue Services (IVR/IAS) is not a self-assessment but the result of an external audit of vehicles, equipment, training and procedures. Mobimed was the first patient transport provider in north-western Switzerland to receive it — and still holds it today.
