El 29 de agosto el primer ministro Shehbaz Sharif suspendió a ocho funcionarios del Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences en Islamabad y abrió procesos penales tras el incendio del 26 de agosto que causó la muerte de 14 recién nacidos. Según AP News, el fuego se originó por la explosión de un aire acondicionado en la unidad de maternidad, atrapando a los bebés.

Familias afirmaron que la puerta del pabellón estaba cerrada, lo que retrasó el rescate, informó la BBC. Tras el incidente, el secretario de salud fue destituido y se formó una comisión encabezada por un ex secretario federal para investigar la causa del incendio y revisar las medidas de seguridad contra incendios, según AP News.
