Dhaka Metropolitan Hospital is facing a power outage from Tuesday morning since 11 am. Consequently, the patients are suffering, especially the ones in ICU.
It’s found that the power outage was due to an electric glitch and the hospital generator stopped after working for some time.
There is no power in the establishment, only oxygen is running in the ICU. Relatives of patients are resorting to hand held fans to ease the dampness.
Hospital receptionist, Ranjan Das, says: “power has now been restored to the ICU.”
