A nurse at the Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences (PIMS) has provided a harrowing account of a fire that recently broke out in the hospital's nursery ward. In her testimony, the nurse described the chaotic scene, characterized by the sounds of screaming and the rapid spread of flames through the facility. Despite her efforts to intervene, she was only able to rescue one newborn infant from the ward.

The incident resulted in the deaths of 14 babies, a loss that has left the nurse and the community grappling with the tragedy. While the nurse’s account focuses on the immediate trauma of the event and the physical limitations she faced while attempting to navigate the fire, the report highlights the emotional toll of being unable to save the remaining infants. The narrative centers on her personal experience during the emergency, emphasizing the split-second decisions made under extreme duress. There is currently no mention of the official investigation into the cause of the fire or the hospital's safety protocols at the time of the incident.
