Non-urgent patient transportation
"I had to go to the hospital for an operation. Since I had to be transported lying down, I called the 105. I got a friendly staff member on the phone. He assured me that everything would go perfectly. And indeed: on the day of the appointment, a comfortable ambulance was at the door. Perfectly on time!" Jeanine, 82 years old.
