This depends on the level of healthcare demand, the urgency of the situation, and the distance to the hospitals concerned. The hospital will usually be within Hollands Midden’s area of operations. If the patient has received treatment at a hospital outside our operating area, and the ambulance crew are aware of this, then the patient may be taken to the relevant hospital. You may indicate your preference for a hospital but, unfortunately, your preference may not be able to be accommodated in all cases. The nurse-paramedic will decide which hospital the patient will be taken to on the basis of the specialized care you require, the circumstances at the hospital, and the availability of ambulances.
