Chief Minister Sindh, Syed Murad Ali Shah, on Tuesday, pledged to improve health emergency services in the province as he launched Rescue 1122 in Karachi.
Speaking at the occasion, CM Murad said that the emergency service was initially launched in the provincial capital with a fleet of 50 state-of-the-art ambulances. He said that the number of ambulances would be gradually increased, and the service will be expanded to other cities in the coming months.
“Rescue 1122 will be launched in all the districts of the province, and for this, 230 ambulances would be procured this year in collaboration with the World Bank,” said Murad.
