00:00The Punjab government has officially launched an ambulance service for the people of the city.
00:04And on the weekday, two patients from Miyawali were transferred to Rawalpindi for treatment.
00:10According to Rescue 112, 46-year-old Haleema Bibi fell from the roof and was injured.
00:15She was taken to a hospital in Rawalpindi to save her life.
00:18This is a great initiative.
00:20And I am seeing that, thank God, no matter which part of Pakistan,
00:24whether it is KP or Punjab,
00:27when this initiative started in Punjab, then it went to KP,
00:29and now in Sindh, this initiative of Rescue 112 has started.
00:34Now, this Air Ambulance Service,
00:37normally, you know that this is a very expensive amount,
00:41and an ordinary person cannot afford it.
00:43But when we see that it is working on behalf of 1122,
00:49then no matter how much it is praised, it is less.
00:51If you try to talk to us,
00:53the Secretary Emergency Services of Punjab, Dr. Rizwan Naseer, is present with us.
00:58Thank you so much, Dr. Rizwan Naseer.
01:01Please tell us, and congratulations to you as well,
01:03that you have done a great job in this regard.
01:06What is the criteria of this Air Ambulance Service?
01:12Secondly, it is clear that there are a lot of incidents.
01:17So, choosing who to pick and who not to pick,
01:21and how many aircrafts will be available in this?
01:25First of all, I would like to clarify that our test runs are still going on.
01:31Because, obviously, there are a lot of institutions involved in this.
01:36There is Civil Aviation.
01:38Like we shifted from Mianwali to Pakistan Air Force.
01:41We shifted the patient from their base.
01:43So, this is our whole mechanism of coordination at the moment,
01:48and a test and trial is going on at the moment.
01:50And what was the purpose of this?
01:52I will just clarify one thing.
01:54Because, you see, there are remote areas,
01:56like Bahawalnagar,
01:58similarly, Bhakkar and Mianwali.
02:00When we have expanded the emergency services to the level of Tehsil today,
02:05so that any person, if he has an emergency,
02:08can get this basic right on time tomorrow.
02:11When we looked at the data from last year,
02:13there were 1540 such patients who had more than 4 hours.
02:16Critical patients.
02:17The critical patients you are talking about,
02:19who should be shifted,
02:20there were patients with head injuries,
02:22patients with polytrauma,
02:23who had multiple injuries in an accident,
02:25or we had a patient with a serious heart.
02:28So, such patients took 4-4 hours to shift to specialized healthcare facilities.
02:33So, obviously, for them, because there is a life and death situation,
02:36it was very important there that these are remote areas,
02:40it is not possible there that we can make a specialized hospital.
02:43The population is scattered, it is remote.
02:45There are no specialized hospitals anywhere in the world,
02:48because getting specialist doctors there,
02:50then investing billions of rupees,
02:52that is an impossible thing.
02:54So, for that, we had to find an effective solution.
02:57As soon as we presented this data,
02:59the Prime Minister of Punjab immediately instructed that
03:01these people should also have access to the specialized healthcare facilities,
03:05so that people can be shifted from here on time.
03:08Dr. Izwal, you mentioned…
03:09So, keeping this in mind…
03:10Yes, you mentioned remote areas.
03:13So, if this doctor refers,
03:15then in which situation will he be shifted through the air ambulance?
03:19Secondly, since it is an air ambulance,
03:22what facilities will be provided?
03:25We have made its system very simple,
03:28and that is also being tested and trialed in the same way.
03:30We have kept a simple system in it,
03:32that as soon as the patient comes to the DHQ hospital,
03:34if the consultant says that we need it,
03:37then we will immediately call this patient to the medical superintendent,
03:41district emergency officer,
03:43and he will also tell the EOC to dispatch him.
03:46So, we have streamlined this system a lot.
03:49Its guidelines have been standardized and issued properly,
03:52so that people know,
03:54medical superintendents also know,
03:56what kind of patient has to be shifted,
03:58what priority has to be given to him.
04:00So, for this, we have issued the guidelines properly.
04:03The facilities that will be available in this,
04:05that is our oxygen supply system,
04:07transport ventilator,
04:09AED, which is called automatic external defibrillator,
04:13that is available.
04:15So, all the basic necessities of saving life will be available,
04:18and there will be a trained doctor.
04:20We will be able to carry one attendant,
04:23and along with the patient, there will be two pilots.
