The All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), New Delhi, one of India’s top medical institutes, has been forced to operate manually due to a ransomware attack on its hospital management system on Wednesday morning, which severely impacted several services.
On Thursday, the hospital issued a fresh set of standard operating procedures for admission, discharge and transfer of patients to be done manually till the systems are down, according to ANI News.
Birth and death certificates will also be made manually on physical forms, as per the instructions of the working committee. The hospital has further stated that only urgent samples are to be sent with filled forms and only urgent investigations are to be sent till the systems don’t get back online.
