Delays expected at CWM Hospital after water damage

The Ministry of Health and Medical Services has advised the public to expect delays in services at the Colonial War Memorial Hospital (CWMH) effective today, following water damage caused by recent heavy rainfall.

In a public advisory, the Ministry said water overflowed into the hospital ceiling during the downpour, disrupting several key service areas.

Services affected include the Special Outpatients Department (SOPD) dressing room, blood testing services at the phlebotomy room, echo services at the cardiac catheterisation laboratory, operating theatres and support areas, and the medical bay waiting area.

The Ministry said contractors and the CWMH maintenance team are currently assessing the damage and carrying out repair and cleaning works in the affected areas.

It apologised for the inconvenience caused and said efforts were under way to restore normal services as soon as possible.
