Jeez, sounds like a job for the Winchester brothers… rip
The incident is among the deadliest hospital fires in recent years in Pakistan, where government healthcare is subsidised but facilities are under-resourced and overburdened.
This is truly horrifying. My heart goes out to everyone concerned. Parents and staff must all be in terrible shock.
Pakistan 🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️
If the religion is more important than science or common sense then you have places like this for the next 1.000 years.
Strength to the 😢victims ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
A As a UK Midwife everyone knows full fire procedures I
•Working in an oxygen rich environment is unbelievably dangerous in a fire situation.What do we know how many or even if there are staff or parents injuries or deaths Staff who come to work in the UK have paper qualifications but no actual knowledge of ever the real basics such as infection control.These staff should not be allowed to even work in the UK systems without training from scratch.I include other recruited countries such as Nigeria.Malaysia and especially India to name a few. I know this wont be a popular comment but it is an honest one.Heartbreaking to all concerned.
There should be fire fighters always around certain institutions ❤
Deep condolences to parents.
Always

this is horror. But how air conditioning can explode? Babies' nursery room usually the most safest place in the hospital. And how about the fire management in the hospital itself i mean there must be automatic fire extinguisher there don't you ?? If this happens in Europe you cant imagine the anger of the society, even the Prime Minister can step down because of it. really unbelievable.
