Humber Teaching NHS Foundation Trust

Humber Teaching NHS Foundation Trust

Northern Lincolnshire and Goole NHS Foundation Trust were hit by a virus attack.

Three hospitals were brought offline by a computer infection, which also led to the cancellation of all routine procedures and outpatient visits.

Its electrical systems were compromised by a "computer virus."

The hospital has decided to lock down the majority of its computer networks in response to the attack in order to fight the virus.

Medical emergencies involving major trauma and women in high-risk labor were being diverted to neighboring hospitals.

They apologized to affected patients and took preventive steps.
