KATS Emergency Transport Services
About KATS Emergency Transport Services
Kangaroo Advanced Transport Services (KATS) is a specialized emergency transport program focused on the safe transfer of mothers, newborns, infants, and children who require advanced medical supervision during transportation. Critical patients often need uninterrupted monitoring, respiratory support, and specialized medical intervention while being transferred between healthcare facilities.
KATS bridges this gap by providing intensive care-level transport services supported by trained healthcare professionals and advanced transport technology. Our goal is to ensure that patients receive the same level of care during transit as they would within a hospital environment, reducing risks and improving outcomes during medical transfers.
