💨 Abstract

The Indian government has asked all states to review and update fire safety plans in hospitals, following a fire that killed ten infants in a government hospital in Uttar Pradesh. The Union Health Secretary's letter urges states to prioritize this issue, emphasizing regular fire safety drills, electrical system maintenance, and installation of fire detection and suppression systems. District-level committees have been requested to inspect health facilities and take action against defaulters.
