This article is intended to familiarize the reader with essential components of a good ground pediatric critical care transport program with special reference to developing countries. Essential equipment, medications, training requirement and responsibilities of transport team have been discussed in detail. In addition, recommendations from American (American academy of pediatrics-Transport section) and British pediatric critical care transport systems have been included, keeping in mind the practical feasibility in the Indian scenario where resources are limited.
