Hospitals in Sector 5
Sector 5 has an unusual profile: most of its area is residential, while almost all of its hospital infrastructure is packed into the northern corner, along Splaiul Independenței and Panduri, on the edge of Cotroceni. The Bucharest University Emergency Hospital is the largest unit.
We are not affiliated with these units; we list them because they are the usual destinations of journeys in the area.
| Unit | Address |
|---|---|
| Spitalul Universitar de Urgență București | Splaiul Independenței nr. 169 |
| Spitalul Clinic „Prof. Dr. Th. Burghele” | Șos. Panduri nr. 20 |
| Institutul de Pneumoftiziologie „Marius Nasta” | Șos. Viilor nr. 90 |
| Fresenius NephroCare dialysis centre | Str. Progresului nr. 75 |
| Fresenius NephroCare dialysis centre | Calea 13 Septembrie nr. 93 |
The University Hospital has several pavilions and entrances. Name the clinic or ward where the patient is expected on the phone, not just the hospital.
Neighbourhoods and arteries
Sector 5 starts at Dealul Spirii and Cotroceni and runs south-west through 13 Septembrie and Sebastian to Rahova, Ferentari and Ghencea. Cotroceni is a district of villas, while Rahova and Ferentari have the densest network of narrow side streets in the sector.
- Calea Rahovei
- Șoseaua Alexandriei
- Bulevardul Ghencea
- Șoseaua Panduri
- Calea 13 Septembrie
- Splaiul Independenței
- Palatul Cotroceni
What slows access down in Sector 5
Calea Rahovei is an exit artery that clogs at peak hours, and recent parking rework has narrowed the driving lane further at some points. In Rahova and Ferentari the side streets are narrow, closely spaced and often taken up by cars parked on both sides.
In practice the distance is not the problem here, the last hundred metres are. Tell us on the phone whether the ambulance can reach the entrance or has to stop at the end of the street.
- Block or house number, entrance, floor and flat.
- Whether the street is drivable or blocked by parked cars.
- Whether the building has a lift and whether it takes a stretcher.
- The destination clinic or ward, at the University Hospital.
- A phone number answered by somebody present at the address.

Frequently asked questions
How much does a private ambulance cost in Sector 5?
Transport within Bucharest starts at 250 lei, with pick-up from the bed and one companion included. The final price is confirmed on the phone, on 0735 347 600, according to distance, crew and the equipment required, and does not change at the destination.
Do you take patients to the Bucharest University Emergency Hospital?
Yes. Spitalul Universitar de Urgență București is at Splaiul Independenței nr. 169, Sector 5. Give the clinic or ward when booking, because the hospital has several pavilions and entrances. For an emergency where life is in danger, the call is still 112.
Do you transport to the „Marius Nasta” institute or to Burghele hospital?
Yes. The „Marius Nasta” pulmonology institute is at Șos. Viilor nr. 90 and Spitalul Clinic „Prof. Dr. Th. Burghele” at Șos. Panduri nr. 20, both in Sector 5. Tell us when booking whether the patient needs oxygen on the way.
Do you come out to Rahova and Ferentari?
Yes, around the clock, as everywhere in Bucharest. The side streets here are narrow, so give the exact number and say whether the ambulance can reach the entrance. If it cannot, the crew covers the last stretch on foot with the stretcher or the transport chair.
Is Giulești in Sector 5?
No, Giulești is part of Sector 6. The confusion is common because both sectors cover the west of the city. Maternitatea Giulești, formally Spitalul Clinic de Obstetrică-Ginecologie „Prof. Dr. Panait Sîrbu”, is at Calea Giulești nr. 5, Sector 6.
Do you cover Sector 5 around the clock?
Yes. Dispatch answers at any hour on 0735 347 600, including at night, at weekends and on public holidays, and the final price is given in the same call.
We answer at any hour, nights and weekends included. Tell us where we collect the patient, where they are going and whether they can walk, and we give you the arrival time and the final price on the spot.
