Emergency Health Services:
7/24 Emergency Doctor and Land Ambulance Service
We have specially trained crews consisting of a doctor, an anesthesia technician,
and a driver stationed in various parts of Istanbul, Ankara, İzmir and Bursa.
The emergency calls are answered by the doctors at the Medline Alarm Center. The doctor gathers the necessary information about the patient's clinical status and provides information about what needs to be done. Once the situation has been evaluated, the decision whether on-site intervention or transport to a hospital will be carried out. Once the decisions have been made, all necessary interventions are carried out for any kind of health problem, from non-life threatening situations to resuscitation and intensive care.
7/24 Medline Medical Counseling Hotline
You can reach a doctor by calling the Medline Emergency Health Services Hotline
at 444 12 12. Medical Counseling Service does not recommend medicine or arrange
prescriptions, but gives detailed information about the situation of the patient.
Geocoding
Your home and office address will be recorded as your coordinates in our digital
map and the system. When you call 444 12 12 from one of the telephone numbers
that you specify on your membership form, the system automatically recognizes
you, shows your address, and displays your medical information on our Alarm
Center doctor's computer screen. This process keeps us from losing valuable
time in emergency situations by not having to ask you for address information
and the ability to retrieve your medical history immediately. This system allows
us a better time management and so to provide more effective health care service.

What Happens When You Call The Alarm Center in an Emergency Situation?
1) When you call 444 12 12 the doctor gathers information about the patient's
clinical status and makes the decision regarding the patient's treatment, whether
an ambulance or a doctor is needed.
2) While the ambulance and its crew are on route to the patient's location,
the doctor at the Alarm Center will provide the patient or person calling on
behalf of the patient with First Aid information, thereby eliminating risk of
death or permanent disability due to improper intervention.
3) Once the ambulance and its crew has reached the patient and performed its medical intervention, if home treatment of the patient is impossible, the patient will be transported to the hospital of his or her choice.
4) The Alarm Center doctor will take care of any organizational details regarding the hospital.
5) During the patient's transport to the hospital, the patient's immediate family member or friend, or if he or she has a personal doctor, will be informed about the person's clinical situation.
