Short codes are often used for emergency, health, police, hospital, blood bank or other public-facing services. They are part of the broader telecom reference structure and help users identify what a service code may be used for.

Some codes are exact values, while others describe broader code ranges. This page should therefore be treated as a public reference explanation rather than a live operational guarantee.
