President Asif Ali Zardari has granted the Tamgha-i-Shujaat honor to Razia Noreen, a nurse at the Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences (PIMS). Noreen's courageous act saved an infant during a tragic fire at the hospital's nursery on August 26th. The fire caused 14 newborn deaths and sparked discussions about the facility's fire safety protocols.
Initial investigations pointed to an electrical malfunction as the probable cause of the blaze. However, a subsequent committee report blamed broader management issues as the underlying reasons for the disaster. CCTV footage showed Noreen rushing into the nursery amidst the flames and safely exiting with the baby, only to return a few seconds later to attempt another rescue, only to find the fire had already engulfed the area.
Despite this, Noreen maintained that her actions stemmed from her duty and the responsibility she had towards the infants entrusted to her care.
