Emergency Care in Sindh face complex challenges, from urban traffic congestion to limited rural infrastructure. Pakistan, a country of over 240 million people, continues to struggle with delivering timely and efficient emergency care—especially in underserved regions. From Karachi’s crowded streets to the remote villages of Balochistan, every second counts during a medical emergency.
Despite the commendable contributions of philanthropic organizations, the country continues to grapple with several persistent issues:
As a result, these challenges underscore the urgent need for a unified, modern, and accessible EMS framework across Pakistan.
As Pakistan’s second-most populous province, Sindh reflects the country’s broader EMS landscape. While Karachi benefits from a strong philanthropic tradition, rural and remote areas of Sindh continue to lack adequate access to emergency healthcare.
However, change is underway.
The Sindh Integrated Emergency & Health Services (SIEHS) has emerged as a force for transformation—strengthening pre-hospital emergency care across the province through innovation, training, and equitable access.
Formerly operating under the Aman Foundation, SIEHS has evolved into a government-supported organization committed to delivering free, high-quality, and accessible emergency services to the people of Sindh. Through its integrated model, SIEHS is bridging critical gaps in emergency healthcare with three major initiatives:
More than just ambulances, these are mobile critical care units equipped with 29 advanced medical devices and staffed by trained Emergency Medical Technicians (EMTs) and Emergency Vehicle Operators (EVOs). Available 24/7, they respond to a wide range of emergencies—from road accidents to cardiac arrests—ensuring timely, life-saving interventions.
In essence, HOPE ambulances embody the ethos of saving lives—one call at a time.
Recognizing that healthcare isn’t limited to emergencies, Tele-Tabeeb provides free telemedicine services, offering medical advice and mental health support to people across Sindh—right from the comfort of their homes.
No concern is too small. No distance is too far.
To ensure long-term impact, SIEHS invests in the training and education of healthcare professionals, paramedics, and community members. Moreover, the RDE division is building a skilled emergency workforce—capable of handling crises with precision, compassion, and professionalism.
At the heart of SIEHS lies a bold and unwavering commitment: every service is 100% free of cost. Whether in urban centers or the most remote villages, SIEHS is redefining healthcare equity by removing financial barriers to emergency medical care.
While Pakistan has long benefited from the efforts of philanthropic EMS providers such as Edhi Foundation, Chhipa Welfare Association, and others, challenges remain in scaling quality and standardization.
This is where SIEHS’s 1122 ambulance service makes a game-changing difference.
Unlike conventional ambulances, SIEHS vehicles function as ICUs on wheels. They are equipped with advanced life-saving technology and operated by professionally trained crews. Each response is a coordinated effort to stabilize patients en route and improve survival outcomes before they even reach the hospital.
Both services are completely free and available 24/7.SIEHS is more than a service—it’s a movement toward a healthier, safer, and more resilient Sindh.
