When you or your loved one is in a medical emergency, your whole world comes crashing down. In that worrisome moment, finding an ambulance emergency number during a severe accident, a sudden stroke or heart attack, or even choking on the windpipe or other such emergencies is difficult.

Of course, it is not wise to rely on Google for such situations. So, it’s important to know about medical emergency numbers and emergency services to get help in time. So, who should you call?

Here’s list of medical emergency number to call in India:

112
