Merian Iselin
The essentials first
Mobimed takes patients to Merian Iselin Klinik in Basel and back home again after their operation — by stretcher, in a wheelchair or seated, with walking aids and luggage.
Reasons for travel
Typical journeys to Merian Iselin
- Admission for an orthopaedic operation
- Journey home after hip, knee or shoulder surgery
- Follow-up checks and outpatient appointments
- Journey from the clinic straight to rehab
Procedure
How the journey works
On the day of admission we collect you from home and accompany you to the admissions desk. After the operation we collect you from the ward — lying down if you are not yet allowed to sit, or in a wheelchair. We help you get in and out and bring you right into your flat, including up stairs.
After orthopaedic surgery: gently home
Merian Iselin Klinik specialises in orthopaedics. Anyone coming home with a new hip or a new knee is often not yet allowed to sit normally and needs help transferring. That is exactly what we are there for: lying down or in a wheelchair, with two staff and time for every step.
Mobimed is an independent transport service and is not part of Merian Iselin Klinik. Please arrange appointments and medical questions directly with Merian Iselin. 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.
