Bombay experienced a violent outbreak of communal rioting in January 1993. Four hundred and thirteen casualties were treated in the KEM hospital from January 7 to January 15, of which 194 required admission and further management. Twenty-seven were brought dead on arrival. The large influx of casualties sustained over a period of 9 days tended to overwhelm the medical facilities. The data of the admitted patients are analyzed to identify the frequency of admissions, cause and nature of injuries sustained, management and prognosis of casualties in such a catastrophe. An attempt is also made to identify the problems faced during such a crisis and a few suggestions made for their solution.
1993年1月，孟买爆发了大规模的社区骚乱。1月7日至15日期间，肯特医院共收治了413名伤员，其中194人需要住院并接受进一步治疗。27人送达时已死亡。9天内大量伤员的涌入使医疗设施不堪重负。对入院患者的数据进行分析，以确定入院频率、受伤原因和性质、此类灾难中伤员的治疗及预后情况。同时，还试图找出此类危机期间面临的问题，并提出一些解决建议。
