Description
On the night of June 10‑11, 2025, the servers of Parmanand Multi‑Superspeciality Hospital in Civil Lines and NKS Superspeciality Hospital in Gulabi Bagh were subjected to a cyber attack that disrupted their digital operations. Hospital staff initially interpreted the resulting service interruption as a routine technical glitch, but an internal investigation conducted by the hospitals’ IT teams confirmed that the disruption was the result of a deliberate cyber intrusion. Following this confirmation, both hospitals notified the Delhi Police, who promptly launched a probe into the incident and enlisted technical experts to trace the origin of the attack and identify those responsible. The breach was reported to law enforcement immediately after it was detected, and the police began gathering evidence to understand the scope and methodology of the intrusion.
In response to the attack, Parmanand Multi‑Superspeciality Hospital activated manual systems to sustain essential clinical services while its digital infrastructure remained compromised. The hospital’s statement regarding the incident was pending at the time of reporting, and no immediate comment was received from its management. The cyber attack caused considerable inconvenience, particularly affecting the outpatient department where online ticketing services became unavailable, leading to delays for new patients seeking admission or checkups. To maintain continuity of care, the hospital relied on offline processes for patient prescriptions and other critical functions, mirroring the approach taken by other institutions facing similar disruptions. The incident occurred alongside a separate server breakdown at the All India Institute of Medical Sciences in New Delhi, which also forced a shift to offline methods for patient services due to reliance on the National Informatics Centre’s eHospital platform. Police continued their investigation with the assistance of technical specialists to determine the attackers’ motives and to prevent further compromise of healthcare systems in the region.
