Downpour causes leaks at Kota Kinabalu hospital including occupied operating theatre

Leaks could be seen in multiple spots at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital, while photos of staff trying to mop dry the inundated floors were also shared online. — Picture via Facebook

A video of the leaks at Queen Elizabeth Hospital is making its rounds on social media, which Sabah Health director Dr Christina Rundi confirmed as authentic.“Yes... water was dripping as seen in the video due to overflow of water into the floor above. Now there is no more water drips and affected areas are being cleaned,” said Rundi, adding that no operations or patients were affected.

A Facebook post on a page called “Pemerhati KKM” said that yesterday’s heavy rain exposed the hospital’s conditions.“Imagine the risk if water drips from the ceiling into an open surgical wound?” the poster wrote. The poster asserted that the upkeep and provision of basic facilities were being ignored in the pursuit of “new fangled systems”.
