Alfred Ambulance: A Legacy of Lifesaving Service in Lebanon Since 1975
In a country shaped by both hardship and resilience, Alfred Ambulance stands as one of Lebanon’s most enduring symbols of dedication and care. Founded in 1975, at the outbreak of the Lebanese Civil War, this private ambulance service was born out of necessity, responding to a time when public infrastructure was overwhelmed and countless civilians were in desperate need of safe, reliable medical transport.

What began as a single man’s mission led by Alfred Abou Khalil has evolved into a trusted, family-run institution that continues to serve Lebanon with pride, professionalism, and an unwavering commitment to its people.

From the War Zones to the Heart of Communities
During the darkest days of the Lebanese Civil War, Alfred Ambulance operated under fire, literally and figuratively. With bullets flying and roads barricaded, the team risked their lives to transport the wounded, the sick, and the vulnerable often navigating divided territories just to reach a hospital.

While many services disappeared or halted during the war, Alfred Ambulance pressed forward, filling a critical gap in private, non-governmental medical response. The service quickly earned the trust of Lebanese families, who needed someone they could count on not just to drive them, but to care for them.

Expanding Into Professional Private Care
Today, Alfred Ambulance continues to offer non-emergency private ambulance services for patients across Lebanon. Whether it’s a home-to-hospital transfer, transportation for the elderly or disabled, or accompaniment to international airports for medical travel, the company offers modern, fully equipped vehicles and highly trained medical personnel. Each transfer is performed with strict adherence to medical standards, reflecting decades of experience in handling delicate health situations.

Alfred Ambulance doesn’t just transport patients they accompany them with compassion, discretion, and a deep sense of responsibility.

Honored to Serve the World’s Most Distinguished Guests
In addition to serving the Lebanese population, Alfred Ambulance has also been entrusted with providing medical escort and standby services for numerous world dignitaries and historic visits. One of the most notable was the visit of Pope John Paul II to Lebanon in 1997.

As thousands gathered to witness the historic papal visit marking the first-ever trip by a Pope to Lebanon Alfred Ambulance was on site as part of the official medical convoy, ready to respond to any emergency involving attendees, security, or even the Pope himself. Their presence reflected not only their medical competence but also the immense trust placed in them by both state and religious authorities.

Over the years, Alfred Ambulance has supported other high-level visits and major national events, including state funerals, television broadcasts, and cultural celebrations always operating with professionalism and discretion.

A Future Rooted in Experience and Service
Nearly 50 years since its founding, Alfred Ambulance remains a cornerstone of Lebanon’s medical support system. It continues to innovate, expanding services, upgrading equipment, and training new generations, all while honoring the legacy built during Lebanon’s most difficult years.

In a country that knows the value of resilience, Alfred Ambulance is not just a service it is a lifeline, and a symbol of care that has never stopped moving forward.
