LAHORE: Two patients on a ventilator died due to suffocation when fire erupted in the ICU ward of Jinnah Hospital early Tuesday morning.
According to hospital management, a short circuit caused the fire. Although evacuation started right away, the two patients could not be saved as the ICU ward was filled with smoke.
The management claimed that the ICU became operational again right after the fire was extinguished early in the morning, however, later they retracted their statement and said that the ICU will be functional within the next 12 hours.
