What our NICU ambulance carries
Each newborn transfer is matched to what the baby's doctor advises. Until we publish a full list for each vehicle, the dispatcher tells you what the ambulance for your baby carries, and who travels with your baby, before you agree.
Questions to ask any NICU ambulance provider
- Is there a transport incubator to keep the baby warm?
- Is there oxygen and monitoring suited to newborns?
- Who travels with the baby, and what is their training?
- Can a parent ride along?
- Is the fare, including waiting, told before you agree?
Ask us any of these. We'll answer plainly.

What families say
What is a NICU ambulance?
A NICU ambulance is an ambulance set up to move a newborn who needs neonatal intensive care, usually from one hospital to a NICU at another. It keeps the baby warm and supported on the way, as the baby's treating doctor advises.
The most important part happens before the move: the receiving NICU confirms a bed, and the support the doctor asks for is ready in the ambulance before your baby leaves the ward.
When parents usually need one
- The birth hospital has no NICU, or no free NICU bed
- The doctor refers the baby to a specialist NICU
- A newborn in a district hospital needs a NICU in Dhaka
- The baby is stable and can move back to a hospital closer to home
Your baby's doctor decides whether a NICU transfer is needed and what support the baby needs on the way.
NICU ambulance vs ICU ambulance
Both are for patients who need support on the way. The difference is who they are set up for.
| Compare | NICU ambulance | ICU ambulance |
|---|---|---|
| Set up for | Newborn babies who need neonatal intensive care, as the doctor advises | Children and adults who need intensive care support on the way |
| Usual trip | Hospital to a NICU at another hospital, and back closer to home | Hospital to hospital, or hospital to home |
