A fire broke out in the elevator control room and lift 11 on the 8th floor of the new building at Mymensingh Medical College Hospital on September 14, 2026. Ten units of the Fire Service were deployed, bringing the blaze under control within approximately 1 hour. The incident triggered mass panic and a fatal stampede, exacerbated by reports that four out of five emergency staircases were locked. Reports initially indicated lower casualties, which were later updated to 6 deaths and 20 injuries during the evacuation chaos. Hospital authorities formed an investigation committee to probe the incident, noting that some deaths were linked to natural causes while others resulted from panic-induced stampede. The committee submitted its report on September 28 after delays. Citizen groups have demanded a judicial investigation and compensation.
