When most people hear Sindh Integrated Emergency & Health Services (SIEHS 1122), they picture a blue ambulance cutting through traffic or a bike medic arriving within minutes. But SIEHS runs a second lifeline — one that operates without sirens, without vehicles, and reaches every corner of Sindh through a single phone call.
That lifeline is Tele-Tabeeb 1123: Pakistan’s free online doctor consultation service, available 24 hours a day, connecting patients across the country to PMDC-certified doctors and mental health professionals. Whether you’re in Karachi at 3 AM with an unexplained fever or in Larkana with no nearby specialist, 1123 is your first call.
Operational since August 2021, Tele-Tabeeb 1123 has grown into one of Pakistan’s most trusted healthcare institutions — not through advertising, but through the quiet, consistent act of answering every call.
Numbers in healthcare mean something different. They represent people — parents in panic, patients in pain, and individuals quietly struggling. From August 2021 to March 2026, here is what Tele-Tabeeb has delivered:
These aren’t call-centre metrics. Each number represents a moment where clinical expertise — delivered remotely — changed a health outcome. Tele-Tabeeb’s doctors have reversed suicide cases through real-time crisis de-escalation. Senior physicians have corrected misdiagnoses that patients had carried for months. Remote medical support, done right, is not a compromise — it is precision care.
Getting an online doctor in Pakistan has never been this simple. No app to download, no account to create, no data connection needed. Just a phone.
The call is completely free. There are no hidden charges, no premium rates, and no registration required.
The most common question SIEHS receives: “When should I call 1123 instead of 1122?” Think of 1123 as your first point of entry. It is your triage call — the step before the ambulance.
If in doubt, dial 1123 first. The Tele-Tabeeb doctor will tell you exactly whether you need to wait or whether 1122 should be dispatched immediately.
Mental health is still a silent emergency in Pakistan. Many people who need support never reach a clinic — due to stigma, distance, or simply not knowing where to turn. Tele-Tabeeb’s mental health team exists specifically for this gap.
Every call is confidential. You do not need a referral. Dial 1123, say you need to speak to someone about your mental health, and you will be connected.
Whether you are in Karachi, Islamabad, Quetta, Peshawar, or a remote district with no nearby hospital, 1123 reaches you. All you need is a phone signal. For nearly five years, SIEHS has ensured that emergency ambulance coverage in Sindh is paired with world-class remote clinical advice — because geography should never determine the quality of your care.
