Health Asia 2026 marks the 23rd edition of the Health Asia International Exhibition & Conferences, Pakistan’s largest annual healthcare and medical industry event, organised by Ecommerce Gateway Pakistan (Pvt) Ltd. Because it is the only UFI-approved (Global Association of the Exhibition Industry) health-sector event in Pakistan, the three-day gathering at the Karachi Expo Centre draws hospitals, pharmaceutical companies, medical equipment manufacturers and healthcare stakeholders from around the world. This year, Sindh Integrated Emergency & Health Services returns as an exhibitor, bringing its Experience Zone back.

What activities, demonstrations and healthcare experiences will SIEHS offer at Health Asia 2026? In short: an ambulance you can step inside, hands-on CPR and choking response training, free mental health assessments, and a look at the emergency response network that serves the whole of Sindh, all under one roof at the SIEHS Health Asia Experience Zone.

Dates
10 to 12 September 2026
Hours
9:00 am to 5:00 pm
Venue
Hall 4, Booth D11 to D12, Karachi Expo Centre

What Activities Are Available at SIEHS Experience Zone?

The SIEHS booth activities cover seven stations, each designed to turn healthcare information into something visitors can see and try for themselves:

  1. Ambulance walkthrough
  2. Rapid Response Motorcycle Unit
  3. Neonatal Incubator
  4. CPR and choking response training
  5. Tele-Tabeeb 1123 health assessments
  6. Balance Board challenge
  7. Spin the Wheel

Here’s what each one involves.

1

Can Visitors Explore an Ambulance?

Yes, visitors can step inside a SIEHS ambulance and see, up close, what a rapid pre-hospital medical care unit actually looks like on the inside.

Far from being simple transport vehicles, SIEHS ambulances are fitted with advanced life-support systems (ventilators, defibrillators, cardiac monitors and life-saving drugs) and staffed by trained emergency medical technicians (EMTs). On a typical call, that equipment supports patients facing conditions such as heart attacks, road traffic accidents, severe bleeding or breathing difficulty, so they are stabilised before they even reach a hospital.

In effect, this activity shows what happens in the “Golden Hour” after an emergency call.

Meet the Rapid Response Motorcycle Unit

Heavy traffic can delay emergency vehicles, particularly in busy parts of Karachi, which is exactly why rapid response motorcycle units exist: they reach an emergency scene at speed while an ambulance is still working through traffic.

See the Neonatal Incubator

Guided by a SIEHS emergency medical technician (EMT), visitors can view a neonatal incubator on display and learn how it’s used to stabilise and protect newborns delivered in the field, including babies born inside SIEHS ambulances during emergency transport.

Learn CPR and Choking Response

One of the most practical SIEHS booth activities is hands-on training in CPR and choking response, led by SIEHS-trained emergency medical technicians.

CPR Training

During CPR training, instructors demonstrate how to recognise an unresponsive person and respond safely, and visitors then practise the basic technique under supervision.

Choking Response Training

Because choking can become dangerous within minutes, this session helps visitors recognise the signs and learn the correct response. Afterwards, participants who complete the training receive a digital certificate.

5

Can Visitors Receive a Mental Health Assessment?

Yes, at the Experience Zone, the Tele-Tabeeb 1123 team offers on-the-spot personality and mental health assessments, a hands-on look at the same service that runs as a free 24-hour telemedicine & mental health counselling platform across Pakistan year-round, connecting callers to PMDC-certified doctors and mental health professionals for consultation and preliminary diagnosis. In addition, you can learn more about the service on the Tele-Tabeeb 1123 page.

Test Your Balance

The Balance Board offers a simple, physical way to test coordination and body control. Because balance depends on the interplay between vision, muscles and the inner ear, this station becomes a light, engaging way into a conversation about physical awareness and fall prevention.

7

Spin the Wheel

Not every station needs to feel like a lesson. Spin the Wheel tests health and emergency awareness through quick questions and challenges, a simple way for families and groups to take part together, and to leave with a few key facts that stick.
