KARACHI: The Sindh Integrated Emergency & Health Services (SIEHS 1122) has joined hands with ChildLife Foundation for enhancing emergency and health services across the province.

Under this strategic alliance, ChildLife will support SIEHS 1122 by providing live tele-consultations for pediatric patients within SIEHS 1122 ambulances.
