Fire Safety Caution Is The Principal Saviour 25 April 2021
Following the recent fire at the Corona ICU unit of Dhaka Medical College Hospital and the previous fire at Suhrawardy Hospital, it is learned that out of 423 hospitals in the capital, a total of 316 hospitals are at risk, including 105 at high risk. Authorities say the condition of only six hospitals is relatively satisfactory. Most hospitals do not have adequate firefighting facilities. There is no provision on how to put out fires and evacuate patients. There is no steep stairway to get the patient down quickly. Many people are admitted to the hospital in a multi-storey building without fire safety certificate. Although many hospitals have been built day after day, the elevator stairs of the hospital have been constructed in such a way that it is not possible to bring down the patients and relatives immediately in case of fire.
