Fire at DMCH: Could the tragedy have been avoided?

Editorial Hospitals must stringently take all fire safety precautions Photo: Amran Hossain We are shocked and saddened by the deaths of three patients after they were shifted from Dhaka Medical College Hospital s Intensive Care Unit (ICU) dedicated for Covid-19 patients when a fire broke out in the ICU facility. The patients died when they were shifted to the CCU from the ICU. So far, the cause of the fire that broke out at the ICU in the hospital s new building is not clear, and a probe committee has been formed to investigate the incident. It is eerily reminiscent of the terrible tragedy that occurred at the United Hospital in May last year, when an isolation unit caught on fire and five patients perished as the duty doctor and nurses fled from the scene instead of trying to rescue the patients. In this case at DMCH, all the patients were transferred to the CCU from the ICU but three of them, who were on life support, lost their lives after being transferred.
