The Punjab Specialised Healthcare and Medical Education Department has requested the provincial emergency services secretary to deploy Rescue 1122 officers in tertiary care hospitals. This move aims to enhance fire prevention measures and bolster emergency preparedness across Punjab. The department believes incorporating Rescue 1122 into the standard emergency response mechanism will bolster coordination and preparedness in tertiary care hospitals.
The initiative seeks to establish a cohesive, uniform emergency response system with clear roles, command structure, and escalation protocols for all hospitals. The emergency officers will oversee the standardization and monitoring of emergency response protocols, as well as coordinate with hospital teams responsible for security, fire safety, and emergency exits.
Additionally, they will conduct routine inspections of fire extinguishers, life safety arrangements, and emergency exits.
