What are emergency services like in Kathmandu?

Answer this Question

When we asked members about emergency services in Kathmandu, they wrote...

"Emergency services in Kathmandu, are available but may not be as efficient or well-equipped as those in more developed countries. The ambulance services are operated by various hospitals, non-profit organizations, and private companies. To call for an ambulance, you can dial the national emergency number or contact a specific hospital or organization directly. It is essential to provide clear information about your location and the nature of the emergency, as response times can be slow due to traffic congestion and limited resources. It is also recommended to have a local contact or a translator to help communicate with the emergency services, as English may not be widely spoken," wrote a member who made the move to Kathmandu, Nepal.
