Ambulance Service
The Edhi Land Ambulance Service started with a used Hillman Pickup
Truck that was converted into the very first ambulance, named the
"Poor Patient Ambulance." After sixty years, Edhi's fleet of
ambulances has expanded tremendously, now boasting over 1800
vehicles deployed throughout Pakistan.
From its humble beginnings, the service has grown into the largest
ambulance fleet globally, catering to the medical needs of communities
far and wide.
Air Ambulance Service
The Edhi Air Ambulance Service is equipped with two planes and a
helicopter, all set to provide rapid assistance during natural
disasters. Their mission is to quickly airlift and transport injured
or stranded individuals to nearby hospitals in times of crisis. With
a focus on swift response and efficient evacuation, they play a
crucial role in saving lives during emergencies.
Their
dedicated team ensures that help reaches those in need as quickly as
possible, offering crucial support when it's needed most.

Mobile Mortuary
Expanding Capacity for Unclaimed Coffins and Burials
In this mortuary, there was space to keep only 16 coffins, yet now 30
coffins can be kept simultaneously, as these heirless dead bodies
which usually are unidentifiable who have either killed due to bigger
accidents, or bomb blast, or firing.
These coffins are
kept for 3-4 days in the mortuary, and then they are buried duly
displaying their personal bio-date on the tin-slate at the graveyard
so that it could be easier to search and find by their heirs. In the
Edhi Graveyard, on average 250 to 350 unclaimed dead bodies are being
buried on monthly basis. For the burial of a heirless coffin, on
average Rs.6000/- expenses do occur.
From 1986 to 2008, these unclaimed coffins were buried in the Edhi graveyard.
When no space is left to bury any more dead bodies, then a plot measuring
to 10 acres were again purchased in 2008 where the heirless remains are
being buried there till to date.
Yearly more than 8000 unclaimed
coffins are being buried, and the outlay comes to the tune of Rs.8000/-
per coffin. In accordance with the record, in Edhi Mwach Goth Graveyard,
96000 unclaimed dead bodies have been buried till now.
