What to plan for on this route
- This is an interstate journey from Telangana into Gujarat. Keep the discharge summary, prescriptions, reports and identity documents together in one folder that travels with the patient.
- The main language in Ahmedabad is Gujarati. If the family doesn't speak it, arrange a local contact who can speak with the receiving hospital staff at handover.
- Ahmedabad's city traffic can add significant time at the end of the journey. Share the exact hospital entrance or home address so arrival can be timed around peak hours where the patient's condition allows.
- Daytime temperatures along parts of this route are very high from April to June. Halts are timed to avoid the hottest hours where possible; family members travelling along should carry water.
