3 Major Hospitals in Rawalpindi Lack Fire Safety System

Following the tragic PIMS incident, it has come to light that essential fire safety systems are still lacking in three major government hospitals in Rawalpindi. Benazir Bhutto Hospital, District Headquarters Hospital, and Holy Family Hospital are among those affected. While some fire protection measures are yet to be put in place, emergency exits in the hospitals are obstructed in certain areas.

Hydrants have been installed in allied hospitals, but smoke alarms remain absent. Hospital administrations have been instructed to activate fire alarms, open emergency exits, and ensure smoke detection systems are functioning immediately following the PIMS tragedy. Authorities have also emphasized the urgent need to prioritize the safety of pediatric and gynaecology wards.
