The Punjab Specialised Healthcare and Medical Education Department has sent a letter to the provincial emergency services secretary seeking the deployment of Rescue 1122 officers in tertiary care hospitals to help prevent fires and improve emergency preparedness.
According to a statement, the department has decided to involve Rescue 1122 in a standard emergency response mechanism to strengthen preparedness, response and coordination in tertiary care hospitals across Punjab.
The main objective of the initiative is to establish a robust, integrated and uniform emergency response system with defined roles, a command structure and escalation mechanisms for all hospitals.
The emergency officers will be responsible for standardising and monitoring emergency response protocols.
They will also coordinate with hospital emergency, security, fire safety and other relevant teams.
In addition, the officers will conduct regular inspections of emergency exits, fire extinguishers and life safety arrangements.
