Summary: The quality of medical care in Pakistan is generally lower than in the United States. Emergency services are available, but they are often limited in terms of resources and personnel. To call for an ambulance, you can contact the local emergency services or dial 112, the national emergency number.

How are healthcare services Pakistan?

When we asked expats and global nomads about the quality of medical care in Pakistan, they replied:

"Healthcare services in Pakistan are provided by both public and private sectors. The public healthcare system is funded by the government and is available to all citizens of Pakistan. The quality of public healthcare varies from region to region, with some areas having better access to medical facilities than others. Foreign residents are able to access the public healthcare system, however, they may need to pay for some services. Expats in Pakistan can use the public healthcare system, however, they may need to pay for some services. In addition, many expats opt to use private healthcare services, which are often of a higher quality than public healthcare," remarked one expat living in Pakistan.
