AIIMS Delhi’s server partially resumes after ransomware attack

The server facility has resumed at the main hospital building of the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) Delhi, two weeks after the cyberattack. However, the online appointment system is still not working and laboratory services are operating in manual mode.

The main hospital building includes the director’s office, Dr BR Ambedkar Institute Rotary Cancer Hospital, Dr Rajendra Prasad Centre for Ophthalmic Sciences and Cardiothoracic and Neurosciences Centre and the Centre for Dental Education and Research.

Officials added that some registrations were done at the new Rajkumari Amrita Kaur (RAK) OPD and the trauma centre through the server and the facility will be made fully functional in the coming days.

An official said, “Outpatient department (OPD) registration and admission processes were brought online in the e-Hospital system on Monday. The integration of the smart lab is being worked on for samples collected from all wards and collection areas for automated analysis and reporting. Additionally, agencies such as CERT, BEL, DRDO are on the ground helping with the rollout.”
