National Emergency Numbers

Rescue 1122 — Punjab Emergency Service

Rescue 1122 is Pakistan's primary government-operated emergency service. Established in 2004 under the Punjab Emergency Service Act, it provides ambulance, rescue, and fire services. The service started in Lahore and now covers all 36 districts of Punjab, as well as Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Azad Jammu & Kashmir, and Gilgit-Baltistan. Dial 1122 for medical emergencies, road accidents, fire, and rescue operations.

Edhi Foundation — 115

The Edhi Foundation operates the largest ambulance network in Pakistan (and one of the largest in the world). Dial 115 for ambulance service anywhere in Pakistan. Edhi ambulances are available 24/7 and the service is free of charge.

Chhipa Foundation — 1020

Chhipa Foundation provides emergency ambulance services primarily in Sindh, with a strong presence in Karachi. Dial 1020 for their services.

Important Tips

• Emergency numbers like 15, 1122, and 115 work from any phone, even without balance or a SIM card, as long as there is network coverage
• When calling, clearly state your location, the nature of the emergency, and how many people are affected
• Keep these numbers saved in your phone AND on a physical emergency card
• For seniors and elderly family members, a printed card is more reliable than a phone
