In spite of all odds, the Service was established after successfully completing all the challenges which included recruitment of right staff and training on modern lines; acquisition of appropriate land for Rescue Stations, construction of Rescue Stations, development of international standard of ambulances, Rescue and fire vehicle in and acquisition of toll free number 1122. The Punjab Emergency Service (Rescue 1122) has responded to over 392824 emergency calls and rescued over 396995 victims of emergencies in five years while maintaining its average record response time of less than 7 minutes. Total number of victims rescued by Rescue 1122 includes 180672 emergency victims in Lahore, 44969 in Faisalabad, 15282 in Rawalpindi, 22289 in Bahawalpur, 40205 in Multan, 17979 in D.G Khan, 16466 in Rahim Yar Khan, 13052 in Sahiwal, 22330 in Gujranwala, 11462 in Sialkot, 3740 in Murree and 8549 in Sargodha.
