the way. We commit to doing everything humanly possible to get you real help
real fast.ER Safari by virtue of the number and geographical spread of the
partners (hospitals, service providers, etc) involved will be able to render
physical assistance in a short time. The Medi-Clinic hospitals collectively
provide a wide geographical spread in terms of the availability of ER Safari
clients, and the network of service providers allows for transportation
services in all these areas. ER Safari membership offers real help real fast

will not have to wait for an ambulance to come from a distant, central
location. We will dispatch the service nearest to you/the scene of the
emergency. We will also send the appropriate rescue service - one that is
equipped to deal with your emergency.

Will I always be taken to an AAR Clinic, in the event of
an emergency?
In all critical life-threatening situations, the patient is taken to the
nearest appropriate hospital - it could be an AAR clinic, State or Independent
hospital. (The likelihood of it being an AAR hospital is high, considering the
geographical spread of the hospital network.)
-
Should it happen that I am taken to a non-AAR clinic,
will I be moved from that hospital while I am in critical condition, once it is
discovered that i am an ER Safari member?
ER Safari membership takes all patients to the nearest most appropriate
hospital. Patients are only moved from hospitals if the hospital is not
equipped to handle the specific needs of the patient. All patient transfers are
performed in close liaison with the patient's attending physician.

the emergency numbers?
ER Safari has an obligation to its members to respond to their life-threatening
emergency calls as a priority. Non-members are attended to as and when
member calls have been handled
