I watched 3 men burn to death while dialing 777, took them a while to answer. But they didnt eventually. That was on a good day.

Look at our hospitals, that should tell you something. The powers that be are too busy stealing to care. The 200 kd handed out every now and then is to keep Kuwaitis from questioning, and unfortunately it works. I would rather donate my 200 kd and have a decent medical system with new hospitals and well trained emergency services who answer the phone and who do their job regardless of the sex of the victim!

Until you change the mindsets and culture of Kuwaiti society, nothing will change. Newspapers, blogs, more money, none of this will help. The apathetic attitude of Q8 in general must change.

One of my boys had a similar incident. He once told me that he and his friends had an accident and tried calling the emergency number but to no avail. You guys should make this more public than posting on blogs…go to other media like news agencies and blow this news sky high. I never thought it was this serious and led to so many deaths (May they all rest in peace). And I thought Kuwait was one of the leading nations in the region…

just to note something about the 200 KD and the donations to lebanon, no it wouldn’t have been better. We have billions of money in kuwait, even if we didn’t spend 200 millions KD for the 200kd/citizen or $300 millions for lebanon the 777 service would still suck. The money is there, a huge amount of it, the only thing missing is the hands that control all this shit to go in the right direction and do their jobs.

This is a sad state of affair! Im sorry for your loss fuzz!

As others have mentioned, I think we should have the numbers of emergency services to get through to them.

Anybody here work in the medical field?

As K mentioned, its BS that they are having problems with 777, it should be solved already!

Yes K

I asked further back if anyone can recommend a hospital with a good emergency service, and their telephone number.

Perhaps no-one knows. Or worse still – there isn’t a good one anywhere in the country.

The MOI has acknoledged the issue with the 777 system on KTV1 some time ago. Its not that they don’t answer; its apparently a technical/routing issue. Apparently they are in the process of completely revamping the 777 system.

That said; I think its complete BS that 777 doesn’t work. This system should be the prime concern of the MOI/MOC.

I suggest people list the direct emergency numbers of the closest hospitals/fire stations in case anything similiar arises.
