Talking to , Safdarjung Hospital Director Dr B.L. Sherwal said that the attack was not of higher degree and some sections of the hospital server were impacted. "The hackers hit the hospital system some days ago and the server was down for one day", Dr Sherwal said.

He said that the NIC team along with the hospital administration has rectified the problem and the hospital was running properly now, adding that the data was secured.
