SHANGHAI - Two senior hospital executives were punished after six medical staff members fled during a fire and left a patient who was undergoing surgery to suffocate.

Chen Aidong, vice-president of the Shanghai Third People's Hospital Affiliated to the School of Medicine of Shanghai Jiaotong University, formerly known as Baogang Hospital, was removed from his post, as he was in charge of the hospital's fire protection.

Fang Yong, president of the hospital, received an administrative warning, the Xinhua News Agency reported on Saturday.
