- Follow-up checks
- Journey from the clinic straight to rehab
Procedure
How the journey works
We collect you from home and accompany you to the admissions desk at Klinik Birshof. After the operation we collect you from the ward, take your walking aids and luggage with us and bring you right into your flat — including up stairs, with a stair chair and two staff.
Close to our base — and gently home
Klinik Birshof is in Münchenstein, only a few kilometres from our base in Binningen. Many patients come home after orthopaedic surgery with limited mobility. We then drive lying down or in a wheelchair and help with every step.
Mobimed is an independent transport service and is not part of Hirslanden Klinik Birshof. Please arrange appointments and medical questions directly with Klinik Birshof. 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.
