Wheelchair Transport

Due to popular demand, we are proud to present to you our “members” JIAXIN and JIAAN.

JIAXIN and JIAAN are elderly-oriented and wheelchair-friendly minibuses that are capable of carrying 9 adults, or 1 wheelchair-bound passenger with 7 other adults.

“家” — JIA in Chinese is home/family
“心” — XIN in Chinese is love/heart.
“安“ — AN in Chinese is grateful/kindness.

JIAXIN and JIAAN are installed with a remote-controlled wheelchair lifting platform that eases access for wheelchair-users. This minimises the need for transferring the patient out of the wheelchair, a process that often results in discomfort or pain for the wheelchair user.

Multiple charging points are available to cater to a wider range of users, including those who require additional medical equipment, such as an oxygen concentrator.

Even though we have not have such incidents, strapping on seat belt for our wheelchair user will be mandatory to avoid unforeseen road conditions.

Discharge cases

For discharge cases, we understand that the doctor needs to see the patient first before confirming the discharge and administrative work needs to be settled before discharge time can be confirmed.

If you are in this predicament, obtain a rough discharge period from the hospital staff. For morning discharge, we will advice for you to set the pick up time at 12-1pm.

In cases where the discharge time is earlier than the booked time, do let us know as soon as possible via a phone call at 9053 6727 and our team will arrange a vehicle to pick up as soon as possible.

Usually appointment takes 2-4hrs. Appointments that involve blood tests usually requires the patients to stay around to wait for the result.

This is to allow us to reschedule and plan for our driver to pick up other clients and provide you with our next available slot for pickup.
