Dial 1122 for a free ambulance anywhere in Sindh. The call is free, the ambulance is free, and the emergency treatment given on the way to hospital is free. There are no charges of any kind and no paperwork before help arrives.
1122 is operated by Sindh Integrated Emergency & Health Services (SIEHS), a nonprofit backed by the Government of Sindh. The network runs over 627 ambulances across more than 30 districts, covering Karachi, Hyderabad, Sukkur, Larkana, Thatta and rural union councils that private services do not reach. The helpline is staffed 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Every ambulance carries trained Emergency Medical Technicians and advanced life support equipment. Dispatch is handled by GPS, so the nearest available unit is sent the moment your call is logged. Average response time in urban areas is under 15 minutes.
Emergency now? Call 1122. Need a doctor, not an ambulance? Call 1123 for a free Tele-Tabeeb consultation.
It’s 3:17 AM in a small village near Khairpur. A man in his 60s suddenly collapses. Panic fills the room. The hospital is far away, and no transport is available. But his son remembers one thing. Dial 1122 for free ambulance service in Sindh.
Fifteen minutes later, a fully equipped ambulance arrives. The team starts treating the man right where he fell, stabilizes him, and transports him safely. He survives.
No money exchanged hands. No connections were needed. Just one free call, and help came running. That’s the promise of SIEHS 1122 and the power of Sindh’s free ambulance service.
Karachi is the largest coverage zone in the SIEHS network. Dial 1122 from anywhere in the city, District Central, East, West, South, Korangi, Malir or Keamari, and a free ambulance is dispatched to your location.
The Karachi fleet responds to road traffic accidents, cardiac emergencies, obstetric emergencies and inter-facility patient transfers. Because dispatch is GPS-based, the control room sends the nearest available unit rather than routing from a central depot, which matters in a city where traffic conditions change by the hour.
The service works the same way in Hyderabad, Sukkur, Larkana, Thatta, Mirpurkhas and every other district in the network. The number does not change. Dial 1122 from any phone, on any network, at no cost.
For too long, emergencies in Sindh meant delays, costly transport, and helplessness. Private ambulances charged thousands. Public options were rare.
Then came SIEHS, the Sindh Integrated Emergency & Health Services. Its mission was simple: provide free, fast, and equal access to emergency care for every citizen. Backed by the Government of Sindh and the World Bank, this initiative launched 1122, the province’s first centralized, free, 24/7 ambulance network. Today, it operates across all 30 districts of Sindh, quietly reshaping countless lives every day.
It’s more than a number. It’s an entire system built for urgency. Here’s how the SIEHS 1122 free ambulance service in Sindh works, from your emergency call to on-site treatment.
From rural villages to bustling highways, this process repeats hundreds of times every day, making sure help arrives when it’s needed most.
From Karachi and Thatta to Sukkur and the remote areas of Thar, 1122 serves every corner of Sindh. Its ambulance fleet is well-equipped, its crews highly trained, and its mission crystal clear: distance or poverty should never cost a life. This service isn’t a luxury for a few. It’s a right for everyone.
Each call is a reminder that help can save a life:
These aren’t just stories of success. They’re stories of equal access and human dignity.
SIEHS is reshaping emergency care across Sindh. It goes beyond ambulance services, focusing on prevention, education, and accessibility:
This is what a modern, inclusive emergency response looks like, and it’s already happening across the province.
Emergencies don’t ask who you are. They don’t wait for connections, payments, or privileges. In those moments, help must never depend on status or income.
With 1122, help is available for free, for everyone, every time.
If there’s one number every household in Sindh needs to remember, it’s this. Dial 1122 for free ambulance service, anytime, anywhere across Sindh. For free medical advice, call Tele-Tabeeb at 1123.
This isn’t just a service. It’s care, equality, and hope, made real. When help is free, hope arrives faster.
SIEHS 1122 operates in all 30 districts of Sindh. The number is the same everywhere in the province: dial 1122. Below is what coverage looks like in the largest cities.
The free ambulance number in Karachi is 1122. SIEHS covers all seven districts of Karachi: Malir, Korangi, West, Central, East, Keamari and South. The service is free, operates 24 hours a day, and requires no registration or payment before the ambulance is dispatched.
Karachi coverage includes the major arteries where road traffic accidents concentrate, along with dense residential areas that private ambulance operators reach slowly. Dispatch is GPS-based, so the nearest available unit is sent rather than routing from a central depot.
The free ambulance number in Hyderabad is 1122. SIEHS covers Hyderabad district and the surrounding areas, including the sections of the national highway that pass through the district. As in the rest of Sindh, the ambulance, the paramedic team and the treatment given on the way to hospital carry no charge.
Hyderabad sits at a junction of major routes, so a significant share of local calls are road traffic accidents on highway sections rather than inside the city itself.
The free ambulance number in Sukkur is 1122. SIEHS covers Sukkur district in upper Sindh, including highway stretches and the surrounding rural union councils. Coverage in upper Sindh matters because distances between hospitals are longer, so the treatment given on board during transport carries more weight than in a dense city.
The free ambulance number in Larkana is 1122. SIEHS covers Larkana district and its rural union councils, at no cost, around the clock. Rural response times are longer than urban ones because of distance, which is why the ambulances carry biomedical equipment and trained paramedics rather than functioning only as transport.
Every Other District in Sindh
The same number, 1122, works in every district of Sindh: Thatta, Mirpurkhas, Khairpur, Shikarpur, Ghotki, Jacobabad, Dadu, Jamshoro, Badin, Sanghar, Umerkot, Tharparkar, Kashmore, Naushahro Feroze, Shaheed Benazirabad, Matiari, Tando Allahyar, Tando Muhammad Khan, Sujawal and Kambar Shahdadkot.
If you are anywhere in Sindh and need an ambulance, dial 1122. If you need medical advice but not an ambulance, dial 1123 for Tele-Tabeeb, the free telemedicine line.
No. There is no ride charge, no fuel fee, and no hidden cost. The ambulance, the crew, and the treatment on board are all free from the moment you call.

1122 in Sindh is operated by SIEHS, a nonprofit backed by the Government of Sindh with World Bank support. It is not a private commercial service. In Punjab and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, 1122 is run by the respective provincial Rescue 1122 services.
Response times depend on location and traffic conditions. SIEHS uses GPS dispatch to locate and send the nearest available ambulance, typically arriving within 15 minutes in urban areas of Karachi and Hyderabad.
1122 is operated by SIEHS, a nonprofit backed by the Government of Sindh, as a single centralized emergency network covering all 30 districts.

Edhi and Chhipa are independently run welfare organisations that also operate ambulance services in parts of Sindh.
1122 operates across all 30 districts of Sindh, including rural and remote areas, not just Karachi and Hyderabad. Coverage extends to places like Tharparkar, Larkana, Sukkur, Mirpurkhas, and Dadu.
