103 for ambulance or call private clinic directly

How to call emergency services in Azerbaijan

All emergency services are accessible on 112 from any phone. The 102/103/101 single-service numbers also work. Save your private clinic's direct number — for non-life-threatening situations, private clinics provide faster, higher-quality care than calling 103.
