This specialized medical transport service operates as a trained paramedic-staffed wheelchair and patient taxi network across northeastern Switzerland, serving as a cost-effective alternative to traditional ambulance services for mobility-restricted patients. All drivers are certified paramedics—not ordinary taxi drivers—equipped to handle patients with varying acuity levels and mobility challenges during 24/7 transportation. The service distinguishes itself through a patient-centered philosophy that emphasizes accompaniment and support rather than mere point-to-point transfer, with paramedics remaining available to assist during medical consultations and provide necessary information exchange with healthcare facilities. Operating from Winterthur and Elsau, the network covers a broad regional territory spanning four cantons including Zurich, Winterthur, Schaffhausen, and surrounding municipalities, making it particularly valuable for international patients requiring reliable, affordable transportation between hospitals, rehabilitation centers, and accommodations during their Swiss medical journey.
