A fire erupted in the gynaecology ward of Kamoke Tehsil Headquarters (THQ) Hospital late at night due to the use of a heater in an inverter air conditioner, reducing the ward to ashes.
Fortunately, there were no patients in the ward at the time, preventing any loss of life. Rescue 1122 responded promptly and brought the fire under control, 24NewsHD TV Channel reported on Sunday.
The fire destroyed medical equipment, furniture, curtains, and other items in the gynaecology ward. However, the on-duty lady doctor and staff managed to remain unharmed.
Medical Superintendent Dr. Saad stated that the gynaecology ward would be temporarily relocated to other rooms while repairs are undertaken.
