This decision was necessitated by the faulty lift which made mobility challenging for both patients and staff.
“Given the current situation, we have decided to suspend all elective surgeries until further notice. During this period, we will focus solely on emergency cases to ensure that critical care is not compromised.
“To accommodate these changes, emergency surgeries will be carried out at the Ground Floor Surgical (Neuro), Accident Centre, Pediatric and Gynaecology theatres. Patients undergoing these procedures will be admitted to Ward G, Ward N, Ward A, and Ward B.”
