Ambulance from Rawalpindi Hospitals to Lahore: CMH, MH, Holy Family
Rawalpindi is home to some of Pakistan's most respected medical institutions β Combined Military Hospital (CMH), Military Hospital (MH), and Holy Family Hospital. These facilities handle everything from emergency trauma to advanced surgical care. However, for certain specialized treatments, patients are often referred to Lahore's tertiary care centers β including Jinnah Hospital, Services Hospital, Mayo Hospital, Shaukat Khanum, Punjab Institute of Cardiology, and others.
Transferring a patient from Rawalpindi to Lahore is a 370 km journey along the M-2 Motorway, typically taking 4 to 5 hours. For a critically ill patient, this is not just a long drive β it requires continuous medical monitoring, reliable equipment, and trained staff. Families need an ambulance service that can handle everything from stable patient transport to complex ICU transfers with ventilators and infusion pumps.
This guide is designed specifically for families and caregivers coordinating transfers from CMH, MH, and Holy Family Hospital Rawalpindi to Lahore. We cover distances, travel times, transparent fares (including the flat 80 PKR/km rate for all ambulance types over 300 km), equipment on board, and how to book.
