Long distance medical transport can cover long distances. In fact, it is possible to actually transport someone on a medical transport vehicle from one country to another. There are two types of long distance medical transportation vehicles. There are those that use land transportation, such as vans. Then, there are medical transportation vehicles that use aircraft. 
There are a variety of companies that use vans to transport patients. Some of these vans can transport a patient across the country or other very long distances.
