Ahmedabad’s Civil Hospital continues to work under immense pressure following the crash of Air India Flight AI‑171 on June 12. The Boeing 787 Dreamliner crashed into the nearby BJ Medical College hostel during students’ lunchtime, dragging several MBBS students and resident doctors into the disaster. The Indian Medical Association (Gujarat) confirms that five MBBS students and one postgraduate resident doctor were killed, while more than 60 medical students were injured and are under treatment in the same hospital. Doctors and nurses describe one of the worst emergency situations they’ve ever faced, with burned bodies and injured students arriving continuously. They worked tirelessly through the night to triage, stabilize, and treat the wounded.
Staff struggled to provide care with limited resources. MBBS students who had been eating in the mess hall when the crash happened were among those critically hurt—many suffered severe burns and fractures . One young student recalled the blast sounded "like a loud boom," then chaos erupted. The hospital activated disaster protocols: two wards (C‑7 and C‑8) were reserved for the students, DNA sampling began to identify the victims, and counsellors were called in to support traumatized survivors and staff .
Despite exhaustion and grief, hospital teams remain dedicated. Surgeons and emergency workers have been handling wave after wave of critical cases, prioritizing life-saving procedures. Hospital coordinators are communicating with families, offering updates, and preparing support services. The outpouring of solidarity from staff, volunteers, and the medical community highlights an extraordinary collective effort during a tragic crisis.
