Nurse Razia Noreen saved one of 15 newborns in a fire at PIMS Islamabad on August 26, but 14 babies perished in the blaze that spread within seconds. The nursery was staffed by only two nurses caring for up to 25 babies at times, with no prior fire drills conducted despite an earlier fire at the hospital in July.
