What can be obtained with a private ambulance with “lifting into and out of” service?
Suppose there is a certain event that a person wants to visit. This may be an elderly person or even a person who isn’t responsible for his physical actions and receives outside help in this. Maybe he can’t walk, dress and eat on his own. But he’s still interested in visiting the outside world for a bit. Be it events, weddings, family meetings, or even visits to therapeutic institutions. Instead of calling a family member or any specialist, he can order a private ambulance. Why should he do it? Because in addition to receiving the “lifting into and out of” service as part of his transportation on the private ambulance, he will also have an opportunity to use support and medical supervision services until the end of the trip.

A private ambulance with “lifting into and out of” service and by the standards of the Ministry of Health
For example, if an elderly person or a person who doesn’t move without assistance and/or a wheelchair wants to attend a family event, he or she can call a company that provides a private ambulance. Isn’t it too much for him? Wouldn’t it be better for him to use the services of a “regular” transportation company? The company that offers the “lifting into and out of” service anyway? Well, this is quite possible. But because the private ambulance company must obtain permission to operate from the Ministry of Health and the Ministry of Transport, in addition to the trip itself, it also offers medical services.
For this reason, and according to this permission, such a company will meet the standards set by the Ministry of Health for the operation of private ambulances.

They will check both the presence of professional medical staff who have been trained and ready for the “fight” and the availability of medical equipment items, the purpose of which is to solve any medical problem.
