Pakistan hospital fire: 14 infants killed, Shehbaz Sharif orders probe

A devastating fire at the Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences (PIMS) in Islamabad killed at least 40 newborn babies. The blaze, caused by a faulty air conditioning unit in the nursery, highlighted severe mismanagement and safety failures in Pakistan's overburdened state healthcare system. While some were rescued, many parents reported locked exits and a delayed emergency response.
