A Basic Life Support (BLS) ambulance is the most commonly used ambulance for patients who are stable but cannot travel comfortably or safely by car or taxi. Nurvo Ambulance runs BLS ambulances across Mumbai at any hour, for hospital visits, admissions, discharges and minor emergencies.
It is a practical, affordable choice when the patient needs to lie down, needs a little oxygen, or simply needs help getting from bed to vehicle and from vehicle to the hospital ward.
Who is a BLS ambulance for?
A BLS ambulance is usually the right choice for:
- Stable patients going for admission, a scan, dialysis or a check-up
- Elderly or bedridden patients who cannot sit up in a car
- Patients with a fracture or after surgery who need to travel lying down
- Hospital discharge when the patient needs a stretcher or wheelchair
- Minor emergencies where basic first aid and oxygen are enough
If the patient's condition is serious or changing, for example severe breathlessness, chest pain or unconsciousness, ask for an ALS, cardiac or ICU ambulance instead. Our team will help you decide when you call.
Making the trip comfortable
A few details shared at the time of booking make the journey smoother. Tell us whether the patient can sit in a wheelchair or needs to lie flat, roughly how much assistance they need to move, which floor they live on and whether the building has a lift. If a family member will travel along, let us know so there is space for them.
Before the ambulance arrives, keep the patient's ID, recent reports, current medicines and, for an admission, a change of clothes in one bag. For a check-up or scan, carry the appointment details and the doctor's referral. If the trip is a return journey on the same day, agree the waiting time with us upfront so the total charge is clear.
