14 newborns killed in fire at Pims' gynae ward in Islamabad
ISLAMABAD: Fourteen newborns were killed after a fire broke out at the gynaecology ward of the Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences (Pims) early on Wednesday. In a statement, the Islamabad administration said that the fire broke out on the third floor of the Mother and Child Hospital’s ward. It said that rescue teams rushed to the scene, with six fire brigade vehicles and four ambulances taking part in the rescue operation. “The fire was immediately brought under control and the children were immediately shifted to the intensive care unit,” it said, adding that 14 babies had died. It said that an inquiry committee headed by the additional deputy commissioner general had been formed to investigate the incident. Pims Spokesperson Dr Aneeza Jalil told Dawn that 15 babies were in the ward. Asked about the cause of the incident, she said that the fire — which erupted at 7am — appeared to have erupted due to a short circuit. “At least one baby was saved by a doctor,” she said. Malik Israr, whose niece was admitted to the gynae ward, told Dawn that it was unfortunate the nursery was housed in a building in which repair and renovation work was ongoing. “After the fire erupted, they told patients to vacate the building. Women who had just given birth had to rush down the stairs from the second floor,” he said. Pims, established in 1985, is Islamabad’s biggest public sector hospital. It is one of two of the oldest health facilities in the federal capital and comprises several hospitals and teaching institutes. This is a developing story that is being updated as the situation evolves. Initial reports in the media can sometimes be inaccurate. We will strive to ensure timeliness and accuracy by relying on credible sources, such as concerned, qualified authorities and our staff reporters.

It said that an inquiry committee headed by the additional deputy commissioner general had been formed to investigate the incident. Pims Spokesperson Dr Aneeza Jalil told Dawn that 15 babies were in the ward.

'Heads must roll': Politicians, journalists demand accountability as Pims fire claims lives of 14 infants
Fourteen infants were killed on Wednesday morning in a fire at the gynaecology ward of the Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences (Pims), Islamabad’s premier public hospital. Health Minister Mustafa Kamal said that the incident occurred at 6:45am due to a “blast in the air conditioner” inside the ward and Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif swiftly removed the federal health secretary as an inquiry was launched. However, the incident sparked outrage among politicians and journalists, who demanded accountability and termed it the outcome of “criminal negligence”. PPP leader Senator Sherry Rehman called the incident “beyond shocking” and held that it was a “deep stain of shame on the entire ministry and the rot within”. “This is where citizens are sent to heal in the federal capital?” Rehman asked as she called for justice for the lives lost. Awaam Pakistan leader and former finance minister Miftah Ismail called for a “full investigation” into the incident. “This is beyond tragic. This is criminal negligence. There should be full investigation and accountability and heads must roll,” he said. Journalist Fahd Husain said that the incident was “not just a tragedy but a crime committed by all those who are entrusted with running the hospital and their bosses”. He held that it was a “by-product of atrocious governance, criminal apathy and inefficient government machinery that is rotten to the core”. Assailing the authorities, Husain said that statements from leaders expressing “afsos” (grief) over the incident were nothing but “salt [in the] the wounds by these very people”. Tehreek-i-Tahaffuz Ayeen-i-Pakistan leader and former Senator Mustafa Nawaz Khokhar said PM Shehbaz taking notice of the fire was “simply not enough” as the incident was the result of “criminal negligence”. “Fourteen infants losing their lives in an incident which could have been prevented by better management and oversight, can’t be shrugged off,” Khokhar said. National Democratic Movement leader Bushra Gohar called for the hospital administration to be held accountable and for the health minister to accept responsibility and resign. “Compensation to grieving families cannot be used to silence them or substitute for justice. The families deserve accountability, transparency and justice not hush money,” she wrote. Dawn journalist Baqir Sajjad Syed said the children “were entrusted to the hospital for care and protection, not to lose their lives to a preventable tragedy”. He noted that the lack of safety measures and regulatory oversight made the loss “even more painful”. “Who can now remedy the agony of parents who lost their newborns?” he asked. “This is too tragic. Very painful,” said former Sindh governor Mohammad Zubair. “This government can’t even manage a hospital in Islamabad,” he said. Journalist Hasnaat Malik referred to a recent statement by Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi, saying: “We have been told that good governance would come through establishing small units. “But why there is no ‘good governance’ in Islamabad Capital Territory (ICT). Pims tragedy is the classic example of criminal negligence, bad governance and maladministration,” he said. “Fourteen infants have been burnt to death in a fire in Islamabad’s largest public sector hospital, in Pakistan’s capital and its premier showcase of modern urban life. Let that sink in,” said journalist Iftikhar Firdous. “Apathy cannot be repackaged as endurance and sold to the public after every national tragedy. Stop romanticising the suffering of your own people and fix the system,” he said. Journalist Yusra Askari said that no words, no visits and no compensation would give the bereaved families patience. “Those responsible for mammoth negligence have to be held accountable,” she said.

Broad Peak'te çığda ölen ABD'li dağcının cenazesi tahliye edildi
ABD'li dağcı Sarah Mallory Geis'in cenazesi, geçen ay 10 kişilik bir ekibin ölümüyle sonuçlanan çığın ardından Salı günü Broad Peak ana kampından hava yoluyla tahliye edildi.
