Bethesda Spital
The essentials first
Mobimed takes patients to Bethesda Spital (Bethesda Hospital) in Basel and back home again — by stretcher, in a wheelchair or seated, accompanied from your front door to the admissions desk.
Reasons for travel
Typical journeys to Bethesda Spital
- Hospital admission for a planned operation
- Discharge home, including lying down
- Outpatient appointments and follow-up checks
- Transfers to a rehabilitation or care facility
Procedure
How the journey works
We collect you from home and drive you to Bethesda Spital. There we accompany you to the admissions desk or onto the ward. On discharge, we collect you from the ward, take your luggage and mobility aids with us and bring you right into your flat.
From hospital straight on
After a hospital stay, the next stop is not always home — sometimes it is rehab first, a care home or relatives. We handle these journeys too, lying down or seated, with handover to the nursing staff at the destination.
Mobimed is an independent transport service and is not part of Bethesda Spital. Please arrange appointments and medical questions directly with Bethesda Spital. In an emergency, dial 144 — Mobimed is not an emergency ambulance service.

The first IVR-recognised patient transport service in north-western Switzerland
Recognition by the Swiss Interassociation for Rescue Services (IVR/IAS) is not a self-assessment but the result of an external audit of vehicles, equipment, training and procedures. Mobimed was the first patient transport provider in north-western Switzerland to receive it — and still holds it today.
