If you are in Gulshan and need an ambulance now
Call 01919-339689. A dispatcher answers day and night. Tell us the road and house number first, then say Gulshan 1 or Gulshan 2. Gulshan road numbers run across both halves, so the circle tells the driver which side to head for.
We dispatch from Mohakhali, which borders Gulshan to the west. Around 10 minutes in central Dhaka, depending on traffic. The dispatcher gives you the live arrival time on the call, and the fare before the ambulance leaves.
Below: what slows a Gulshan trip and what we do about it, which ambulance fits, the hospitals people ask for, and the Gulshan landmarks with the road from our base.
What goes wrong
What slows an ambulance in Gulshan
Gulshan is close to our base, but it has its own problems. These are the ones that lose time on a call, and what we do about each.
01
Two circles, one set of road numbers
Gulshan is split into Gulshan 1 and Gulshan 2, each built around a busy circle. A road number alone can send a driver to the wrong half of Gulshan.
What we do: We ask for the road, the house and the nearest circle, and read them back to you. Send a WhatsApp location pin as well.
02
Guarded roads and checkpoints
Parts of Gulshan and Baridhara have embassies, guarded roads and checkpoints. Some lanes close at night, and a driver can be held at a barrier while the patient waits.
What we do: Tell us if your road has a checkpoint or a guard post. Ask the building guard to expect the ambulance, and tell us the open entry road.
03
Tall buildings and service lifts
Many Gulshan homes and offices are in tall buildings with reception desks, guards and separate service lifts. A stretcher may not fit the main lift.
What we do: Tell us the floor, the building name and whether a service lift exists. We plan how to carry the patient before we arrive.
04
Circle traffic at office hours
Gulshan 1 and Gulshan 2 circles, and the link road toward Badda, slow down a lot at office hours. A detour around Gulshan lake can be longer than it looks on a map.
What we do: The dispatcher picks the entry road from our base and gives you a live arrival time, not a promise.
05
Families and visitors who need English
Gulshan has many foreign residents, office staff and visitors. In an emergency they may not know the local landmark names or speak Bangla.
What we do: Our dispatchers take calls in English and Bangla. Give the building name and road, or send a location pin, and we take it from there.
Which ambulance
Which ambulance for your Gulshan trip
Tell us what the doctor advised. We match the vehicle.

When the doctor advises ICU support on the way, for example a move from a Gulshan clinic to a bigger hospital.
A newborn moving to another NICU
Calm and step by step. Ask the NICU doctor to confirm the receiving bed first, then call us with both hospital names.
Discharge, check-ups and trips home
A cooled, comfortable ride from a Gulshan hospital to your home, or from home to a check-up anywhere in Dhaka.
Taking a loved one home
We take your loved one home from a Gulshan hospital or home, within Dhaka or to any district. You can call at any hour.
From Gulshan to another district
For a trip home to another district, tell us the destination on the first call and we plan the route out of the city.

Fare first
Ambulance fare in Gulshan
We tell you the fare before we dispatch. Gulshan is close to our base, so the trip to reach you is short. What moves the fare most is the distance to the hospital, the vehicle and any waiting.
What the fare depends on
- The type of ambulance the patient needs
- The distance from your door to the hospital
- Waiting time at the hospital
- Whether you need the return trip
Ask for the full fare on the first call. If anything changes on the way, we tell you before we continue.
