Pediatric and neonatal transport teams provide specialized care during the transport of ill and injured infants and children to the major hospitals in Regina and Saskatoon. The teams include registered nurses and registered respiratory therapists.

The Saskatchewan Pediatric Transport Service was established in 1998 to provide quick, coordinated access to specialized hospitals for all children throughout the province. The Pediatric Transport Service consists of two teams. One is based at Regina General Hospital to serve the southern part of the province, and one is based at Royal University Hospital in Saskatoon to serve central and northern Saskatchewan. The teams will travel to the child, stabilize and transport the child back to either Regina or Saskatoon.
