Getting to hospital and doctor appointments by ride
Booking rides · Published · 2 min read
Hospital trips are some of the most stressful journeys a family makes, and often the ones where waiting for transport costs the most. A booked ride takes that part off your mind. JaldiGO is not an ambulance, but for appointments, check-ups and visiting patients it is a calm way to get there.
For an emergency, call an ambulance
If someone needs urgent medical help, call Rescue 1122 or go to the nearest emergency department straight away. A ride app is for planned journeys, not emergencies.
Appointments, tests and visiting
For an OPD appointment, a lab test or a visit to a relative on the ward, booking a ride means you are picked up at your door and dropped at the hospital gate. People in JaldiGO's busiest area often ride to hospitals in Gujrat, Kharian and Jhelum.
Choosing the right vehicle
- Someone frail or elderly: Comfort or an Economy car rather than a bike.
- Several family members going: a family van or a ChingChi.
- Hot weather: Comfort or the family van, both with AC.
- Going alone for a quick test: a bike is fastest.
Getting home again
Appointments run late. Instead of agreeing a time with a driver in the morning, just book a fresh ride from the hospital when you are done. The fare is fixed before you confirm, whatever time it is.
