Neonatal (NICU) Ambulance in Bangalore
Moving a newborn is not a smaller version of moving an adult. A neonatal transfer needs equipment sized and configured for an infant, and a crew used to handling one. SaveLife operates NICU ambulances in Bengaluru for newborn and premature infant transport.
Dispatch answers 24 hours a day, every day. For an emergency, calling is fastest.
When a NICU ambulance is needed
Most commonly when a baby has to be moved to a hospital with a higher level of neonatal care, when a premature infant is transferred between facilities, or when a newborn needs monitored transport after delivery. These transfers are often arranged by the treating hospital — but families book them directly too.
What to tell dispatch
The baby's current location and the destination hospital, the infant's approximate weight and gestational age if you know them, and any equipment the treating team has specified. Neonatal transfers are the case where a doctor's instructions matter most in choosing the vehicle, so pass them on exactly as given.
Travelling with the baby
A parent can normally travel with the infant. Say so when booking, so the crew can plan seating around the equipment rather than at the door.

Call, or book online
For an emergency, calling is fastest — dispatch answers 24/7. For a planned transfer you can book online and choose pickup, drop and ambulance type yourself.
Confirm the ambulance type
Tell us what the patient needs, or choose in the booking form. If you are unsure, describe the situation on the call and we will advise which vehicle is appropriate.
Track it to your door
Once a unit is assigned you get live GPS tracking and a pickup OTP, so you can watch the ambulance approaching instead of guessing.
