Major Hospital in Karachi Introduces New Fire and Emergency Safety Measures

The Jinnah Postgraduate Medical Centre (JPMC) in Karachi has established an 11-member Fire and Safety Committee to enhance emergency preparedness and ensure a swift response to fire incidents and other emergencies. This committee, formed in accordance with directives from the Jinnah Hospital director, will operate around the clock and report directly to the Joint Executive Director, Dr. Salman.

A formal notification announcing the committee's formation is set to be released today. The committee will be led by the hospital’s assistant director, with priority given to employees living within the hospital premises to facilitate prompt action in case of an emergency. The committee's role will be to coordinate the hospital's response to fire incidents and other unexpected situations on a permanent basis.

The safety enhancements were prompted by the tragic fire at the PIMS Hospital in Islamabad on August 26, which claimed the lives of 14 newborn infants.
