Ambulanz Wonsch

Ambulanz Wonsch fulfils the last wishes of immobile terminally ill patients with the help of volunteers and our own ambulances. The service is entirely donor-funded and staffed by medically trained health care professionals and professional drivers (Police, Ambulance and Fire brigade) who volunteer their time.

Presentation of our organisation

We are Ambulanz Wonsch ASBL. This name is based on the idea of fulfilling the last wishes of terminally ill patients with the help of volunteers and our own ambulances.

There are still too many patients who die without being able to complete things in this final phase of their life. One of the causes is the inability to realise certain wishes because the patient is no longer mobile and other existing facilities fall short.
What will happen?

The patient decides the day. We will come with a specially designed ambulance and qualified medical staff (an ambulance driver and a nurse) to accompany the patient during the wish. In addition, 2 more people can join the patient in the ambulance. Others come to join the wish by their own means of transport.

Ambulanz Wonsch enables people receiving palliative care or who are terminally ill and bedridden to fulfill a final wish by visiting a place of personal significance, for example, to admire their own garden, to go to that one meaningful place, or to be surrounded by their loved ones and pets. It’s usually the little things that mean the most to a person nearing the end of their life. Things that would be otherwise out of reach.

Medically trained volunteers and specialised vehicles provide the means to make these final dreams come true at no cost to the patient or their family. The service is entirely donor-funded and staffed by medically trained health care professionals who volunteer their time.
