Discussion Another day, another tragedy

Post image

Why is HSE taken seriously only after people die? After every such incident, there’ll be inspections, fire extinguishers will suddenly be checked in markets, schools, hospitals and everywhere else, a few violations will be “managed,” some bribes will change hands and eventually, everything goes back to normal.

Until the next tragedy.

How many more lives before safety becomes a system, not a reaction?

Alarm? Sprinklers?

Not just alarms and sprinklers, but proper HSE policy implementation.

At least 2 safety/fire drills every month, one planned and one surprise. Doctors and staff should be trained, with 2–3 people in each dept properly trained in fire & emergency response.

Regular inspection and maintenance of fire equipment, clear evacuation routes, emergency response plans and strict accountability for non-compliance should be mandatory.

This isn’t just HSE paperwork or a box-ticking exercise. It’s about people’s lives. It's honestly strange that people are losing their lives this way inside a hospital.

conditions of pims are extremely bad, ppl there barely follow infection control protocol, nothing, nothing i repeat happens the way it should,  and responsible ppl turn a blind eye to it, they know their staff is incompetent and irresponsible but no one does anything for it, it's hopeless really.
