A fire caused by a short circuit broke out in a store room adjacent to the old ICU unit of the main building of Khulna Medical College Hospital on Wednesday morning, May 20, 2026, causing significant panic and operational disruption. Ten to twelve fire service units contained the fire in approximately one hour. One patient, 30-year-old Nasrin Nahar, died during the emergency evacuation process. Five others, including hospital staff (Saidur Rahman, Nourin, Dipali, and Sharmin) and one firefighter (Touhid), sustained injuries. One month after the incident, the operation theatre remains non-functional due to ongoing repair work, forcing surgeons to limit operations to emergency cases only and causing uncertainty for over a hundred patients waiting for surgeries.
