An audit has revealed significant fire safety deficiencies in 22 government hospitals across Sindh province, Pakistan. The findings highlight a critical lack of preparedness for potential fire emergencies, endangering patients and staff. Deficiencies include non-functional fire alarms, inadequate fire extinguishers, blocked emergency exits, and a general absence of fire safety protocols. Authorities have been alerted to the urgent need for remediation to prevent potential disasters. The report emphasizes that many facilities lack properly trained staff capable of responding to a fire. This situation poses a severe risk to public health and safety, demanding immediate action from the Sindh government. Officials have promised to address the issues, but timelines for improvements remain unclear.
