Rescue 777
We needed an ambulance at our office because a guy with diabetes fainted due to low sugar (or something like that). We called 777 and within 5 minutes the paramedics arrived. I am impressed.

This is great thing to hear, on the other side a simple spoon full of sugar might did the trick. I suppose there should be some kind of braclets or cards for diabetic patients to help them in emergency situations like this.
Thats great, paramedics are ranked as the best car drivers in the world
I dialled 777 and they didnt even speak English! In my view its a joke! (or not depending on ur circumstances)
What an improvement!
Last time I called 777 was 5 years ago.
I had an acciedent in Bneider (it was my fault), and since 777 didn’t answer me for more than 5 minutes, I started calling 101.
They (101) answered 5 minutes later, I asked for Al-Zor Police Station, talked to them… then after 20-25 minutes of calling 777 for the 1st time.. the police arrived, not because 777 answered, but because Al-Zor station answered (via 101).
So if I’m in an accident -God forbid- I will call 101 and ask them for the nearest police station, but know after reading your post I’m really impressed!
I changed my mind.
101 sucks the last time I called them few months ago searching for KLM office no. I waited for 10min till they’ve answered and at the end I’ve got a wronge no. ! . I then used my old friend google.com and found the no through klm’s site.

In reference to TJ’s post, I suggest that English speaking personnels must be available at any time in our ministries. Why are they still thinking that everybody in Kuwait speaks Arabic?
[...] I am sure there are more examples where 777 failed to answer but the thing is, even if they don’t answer only one time that is still a MAJOR problem. Personally we used 777 once here at the office and the response time was fast so I myself never had a problem with 777. But, if there comes another time where I need them I would want someone to answer. [...]
