During a severe heatwave, a major district government hospital experiencing a central power grid failure suffers a mechanical breakdown of its primary backup diesel generator. As the Chief Medical Officer (CMO) serving as Emergency Health Coordinator, temperatures inside intensive care units (ICUs) begin rising rapidly, threatening life-support machinery and patient survival. Which of the following is the most appropriate immediate administrative course of action under emergency management protocols?
- AOrder the immediate evacuation of critical ICU patients using available private vehicles and unverified local ambulances, bypassing formal transit safety protocols to ensure rapid movement.
- Invoke emergency statutory powers to requisition mobile generator units from local administrative reserves and nearby public facilities, while simultaneously initiating ward-level manual ventilation protocols.Cevap
- CInstruct all non-critical administrative and support staff to evacuate the hospital premises immediately to mitigate heat stress while waiting for the State Electricity Board to repair the grid.
- DSuspend all incoming hospital emergency admissions indefinitely and direct department heads to resolve their power needs independently using discretionary ward funds.
Cevap
Invoke emergency statutory powers to requisition mobile generator units from local administrative reserves and nearby public facilities, while simultaneously initiating ward-level manual ventilation protocols.
The correct response combines immediate, organized clinical care (manual ventilation and ward-level heat management) with the lawful exercise of statutory emergency requisition powers under disaster management regulations. This ensures both life-saving action and legal administrative compliance.
