Two analysts have been suspended as the server at All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) Delhi remained out of order for eight consecutive days. After the suspension of two analysts from Delhi, more are on the radar for suspension for breaching cyber security, the ANI has reported citing its sources.
“The E-Hospital data has been restored on the servers. Network is being sanitized before the services can be restored. The process is taking some time due to the volume of data and large number of servers/computers for the hospital services. Measures are being taken for cyber security,” AIIMS Delhi said in a statement on Tuesday.
“All hospital services, including outpatient, in-patient, laboratories, etc continue to run on manual mode.” It further said.
The E-Hospital application is the cloud-based Hospital Management Information System for the digitization of internal workflows and processes of hospitals.
AIIMS Delhi reported a failure in its server on November 23.
“The sanitizing process started, earlier it was 15 but now 25 out of 50 servers and more than 400 endpoint computers have been scanned. Antivirus uploading has also been started for future safety,” ANI has reported citing its sources.
“The National Investigation Agency (NIA) has also joined the investigation. The India Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT-IN), Delhi Police, Intelligence Bureau, Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) and Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) representatives are already probing the incident,” the report further said.
Earlier AIIMS had issued a new set of Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) stating that admission, discharge, and transfer of patients will be done manually in the hospital till the e-hospital is down.
“Latest SOPs that have to be followed in manual mode till E-Hospital is down. Admission, discharge and transfer are to be done manually at AIIMS, New Delhi. Indent to be done manually,” the hospital said.
“Only urgent samples are to be sent and that too with filled forms. Only urgent investigations are to be sent with forms as per instruction from the working committee,” it added.
