📋 Table of Contents
When a patient needs to be transferred from CMH Rawalpindi (Combined Military Hospital) to any city in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KPK) — whether it's Peshawar, Mardan, Swat, Abbottabad, or Dera Ismail Khan — families face two concerns: the patient's safety and the cost. Insaf Ambulance Services provides transparent, per‑kilometre pricing with no hidden surge, and a special long‑distance discount for journeys over 300 km [citation:1][citation:5].
CMH Rawalpindi is one of the largest military hospitals in the region, frequently receiving patients from across Pakistan. For families needing to return to KPK for recovery or palliative care, we offer a fleet of modern ambulances — from basic life support to fully equipped ICU ventilators — staffed with experienced paramedics who know the motorway and GT road routes intimately [citation:3].
Our pricing is simple: 80–120 PKR per kilometre, depending on the ambulance model. However, if the total distance from CMH Rawalpindi to your KPK city exceeds 300 km, you pay only 80 PKR/km for any ambulance type — a saving of up to 33% [citation:1][citation:5]. Below we break down exact fares, vehicle options, and the step‑by‑step booking process.
