AIIMS SAYS KEY TOOL RESTORED; BUT NO CLARITY ON DATA YET

The All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) hospital in Delhi said on Tuesday that it was able to restart its main ehospital digital utility, but services could take at least a couple of days to come back online and there was no clarity yet on whether the critical database containing patient records and test reports can be retrieved.

The facility, India’s foremost government medical care centre, was hit by a cyberattack last week, forcing operations to be managed on paper for the last seven days as close to 5,000 computers were knocked offline.
