In the wake of the devastating bus accident in Yazd, Iran, which tragically claimed the lives of 28 Pakistani pilgrims and left 16 others injured, the Government of Sindh’s not-for-profit organization under the Health Department, SIEHS 1122, played a vital role in managing the on-ground operations.

They also facilitated the transportation of the injured to hospitals in Karachi, Larkana, and Khairpur for immediate care.

Brigadier Tarique Quadir Lakhiar (R) – SI(M), CEO – SIEHS, highlighted the organization’s commitment during this national tragedy: “Our mission was to ensure that the victims were treated with the utmost respect and that the injured received the urgent care they needed. SIEHS 1122 remains dedicated to providing critical support in such challenging times.”
