Train Ambulance Services in Delhi – Affordable & Advanced Medical Transfers
When it comes to transferring a critically ill patient over long distances, train ambulance services in Delhi by Vedant Air Ambulance are one of the safest and most cost-effective options. Unlike road ambulances that may not be suitable for long journeys or air ambulances that can be very expensive, rail ambulance services provide an ideal balance of comfort, safety, and affordability.
Our Delhi-based train ambulance team specialises in long-distance patient transfer across India with ICU-level facilities and 24/7 medical supervision. From arranging the rail coach to setting up life-saving equipment, our goal is to ensure a smooth, stress-free, and safe journey for patients and their families.
What is a train ambulance?
A train ambulance is a medical transportation service where an AC coach (usually 1st Class AC) of an Indian Railways train is converted into a mobile ICU unit. The coach is equipped with:
- Ventilators & oxygen supply
- Cardiac monitors
- Infusion pumps
- Emergency medicines
- Defibrillators
- Suction machines
A team of critical care doctors, nurses, and paramedics accompany the patient, ensuring continuous monitoring and emergency response during the journey.
