PATNA, July 22 -- The All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) seeks to review its security arrangements in light of the shooting incident at a private hospital here on July 17, killing a gangster undergoing treatment there, said officials on Monday. Dr Anup Kumar, medical superintendent of AIIMS, Patna, asked institute security officer Imran Azad on July 19 to submit a detailed action plan to curb the entry of unauthorised people into the hospital. Dr Kumar also directed Azad to sensitise his security personnel to tackle any untoward incident while ensuring safety and security on the hospital premises. The medical superintendent also asked the security officer and his deputy to ensure they take regular rounds to check if the security personnel were alert and performing duties diligently at their designated posts. Dr Kumar also reminded the security in-charge that the institute had already procured sufficient number of visitor passes for issuance to the attendants of patients. The multiple entry points at AIIMS poses a challenge to the security personnel to restrict the entry of unauthorised people. "If we try to restrict the entry of people into the wards through the medical emergency and the IPD (indoor patient department) building, they make their way into the IPD wards through the outdoor patient department (OPD), as the two blocks are interconnected," said a security personnel on anonymity. Containing incidents of petty theft, like stealing of cellphones from patients or their attendants in wards or outside, is another challenge the security personnel face at AIIMS. "Attendants of patients, who sleep in common areas outside IPD wards, often complain of theft of phones, as they go off to sleep by putting their cell phone on charging. It is not surprising that petty criminals roam about freely at night in common areas outside wards, looking for soft targets to steal their cellphones, cash or other belongings," said another security guard. The low paid contractual staff, working as cleaners and hospital attendants were also not above scrutiny when it came to thefts reported from inside wards, said a third security guard. "Only a few of our guards have firearms. So, if five armed criminals, like those involved in the recent shooting, were to enter the hospital, there is little we could do," said another security guard....
