Nanjing Non-Emergency Patient Transport Guide: A Stress-Free Plan for Going Home After Discharge or Transferring Between Hospitals

In Nanjing, many patients face a practical challenge after discharge: how to get home. With uneven distribution of medical resources across Jiangsu Province, numerous patients require inter-hospital transfers or long-distance travel back to their hometowns. In such cases, professional non-emergency transport services can provide essential support.

Don't let the final journey home become a challenge after discharge.

Many families assume discharging home is as simple as calling a taxi, but reality is often more complex. Post-operative patients cannot sit for long periods; those with fractures need to lie flat; elderly patients struggle with stairs. Nanjing has many older residential buildings without elevators. When two family members carry a stretcher downstairs, it's nerve-wracking.

Professional transfer service begins at the hospital room door. Staff coordinate with nurses to review patient status, then safely move the patient using a stretcher or wheelchair. A dedicated team member assists during stair transitions and helps adjust the patient to a comfortable position once in the vehicle. Families can focus entirely on accompanying their loved one—no need to worry about logistics.

Inter-hospital referral: Peace of mind with dedicated escort along the way.

Nanjing's top-tier hospitals are clustered in a few districts. Transfers between them cover moderate distances. However, patients' conditions can change during transit. With onboard oxygen supply and monitoring equipment, plus a nurse observing continuously, families feel much more at ease.

Patients requiring ventilators or monitoring equipment cannot be transported in standard vehicles. Our medical transport vans are purpose-built with separate stretcher and seating areas, securely mounted equipment, and a smooth ride to ensure patient safety during transit.

For chronic disease follow-ups, regular pick-up and drop-off saves time.

Dialysis and chemotherapy require regular hospital visits. For frequent appointments, arranging transportation each time can be burdensome for family members. Our Nanjing transport service supports recurring bookings: schedule once, and we'll arrange pickup automatically on your set dates—no need to contact us repeatedly.

Staff will adjust the transport method based on the patient's condition at the time. If the patient is stable, a wheelchair will be arranged; if their condition is poor, a stretcher for lying down will be provided. The vehicle is equipped with basic medical support equipment to monitor the patient's condition during transit and ensure prompt response to any discomfort.

How to schedule and what do I need?

Booking is simple—just call or fill out our online form. Please provide: exact pickup and drop-off addresses, the patient's mobility level (able to sit/lie down or non-ambulatory), and any special medical needs (e.g., oxygen or monitoring).

Please book 24 to 48 hours in advance to allow our team sufficient time to arrange vehicles and staff. For urgent requests, we can try to expedite the arrangement, but availability is not guaranteed.
