Core Viewpoint - The increasing demand for non-emergency medical transport services is highlighted, driven by economic development and an aging population, alongside the challenges posed by illegal "black ambulances" that exploit this demand [5][9]. Group 1: Emergency vs. Non-Emergency Medical Transport - The healthcare system in China categorizes ambulances into two types: emergency medical services (EMS) funded by the government and non-emergency medical transport services, which are often market-driven and lack clear regulatory frameworks [7][10]. - Emergency medical services are well-established with unified dispatch systems, while non-emergency transport services are still developing, leading to inconsistencies and potential exploitation by unregulated operators [7][11]. Group 2: Issues with "Black Ambulances" - "Black ambulances" are characterized by low operational costs and often lack proper medical equipment and qualified personnel, posing significant risks to patients [8][9]. - The prevalence of these illegal services is attributed to a supply-demand imbalance in the non-emergency transport market, where legitimate services are insufficient to meet the needs of patients [9][10]. Group 3: Regulatory Challenges - The regulatory oversight of non-emergency medical transport is fragmented across various government departments, leading to ineffective enforcement against illegal operations [10][12]. - The lack of a unified policy framework at the national level complicates the establishment of standards for service quality, vehicle registration, and personnel qualifications [12][13]. Group 4: Proposed Solutions - Experts suggest expanding the supply of legitimate non-emergency medical transport services to meet diverse patient needs and reduce reliance on illegal operators [12][15]. - Recommendations include establishing a unified dispatch system, improving regulatory frameworks, and enhancing service standards to ensure patient safety and service quality [15][16].

新华社北京7月14日电 题：病人转运如何用好"救护车"？ 新华社记者董瑞丰、蔺娟 做完大手术不久的患者，怎么转到康复医院？临终病人想从医院回家，有办法送吗？……非急救转运 的"刚需"多种多样，但规范化转运服务供不应求，一些患者家属只得选择设备简陋、坐地起价的"黑救 护车"。 如何既有力监管"黑救护车"，又加大正规医疗照护转运供给？记者采访了相关部门和专家。 最大限度形成监管合力 收取"天价"转运费、缺少医疗照护设备……近期，多起"黑救护车"事件接连曝光，引发社会关注。 今年4月，陕西一辆"救护车"送重病患者从宝鸡到西安，说好全程3000元，可车到中途又加价400元。事 后经查，该车辆在浙江一家民营医院名下，但院方称车辆"被转户"后无法联系，现已脱审且为非法营 运。 去年8月，广东湛江一位老人临终前从医院回家，通过私人运营的"救护车"，3公里路、10多分钟车程， 花了1800元。家属不禁感叹："落叶归根"之路，竟会如此昂贵。 此前，还有一名患者从吉林长春某医院紧急转往北京治疗，期间乘坐了一辆喷涂有该医院标识的"救护 车"，但车内除氧气瓶外几乎无急救设备，途中氧气瓶还两次耗尽，车辆不得不反复下高速加氧，延误 了宝 ...

综合媒体报道，今年4月，其身患重症的孩子连夜从江西转运至上海某医院，800公里路程被"民营救护 车"司机收费28000元，没有价格明细和发票，连费用都是转入个人账户。 6月16日下午，"潮新闻"致电江西涉事医院，院方工作人员表示正在核实调查，有结果后会向上级部门 汇报。 据家属透露，该公立三甲医院曾向其解释称，医院的救护车不能出省，无法转运他孩子这样带着呼吸 机、ECMO等器械的病人，再加上是连夜转运，所以医生考虑到各方面原因后，帮其联系了民营救护 车。 多名医疗界人士关注到这一事件。有医生告诉"医学界"，路程长且患儿在转运途中带着呼吸机、ECMO 等设备，或是转运费用较高的主要原因之一，"这位患儿的转运挑战很大，任何一点疏忽都可能导致转 运失败。" 800公里救护车转运并不多见 据"潮新闻"消息，近日，一患儿家属向江西省卫健部门投诉，对江西省某三甲公立医院医生联系的救护 车转运费用提出质疑。 家属向"潮新闻"介绍，今年4月8日晚，因病情恶化，这家江西公立三甲医院主治医生建议其孩子转院治 疗。家属主动提出前往上海，请主治医生帮忙联系救护车转运。 家属表示，8日晚上10点许，一辆救护车停靠在医院门口，车内有两名 ...
