Lautoka Hospital has clarified claims that the Ba Hospital was under-resourced dur­ing a power outage.

This was in response to questions about the power outage that result­ed in the cancellation of surgeries this week.

The Aspen Medical spokesperson said the Lautoka and Ba hospitals were equipped with generators as a backup for any disruptions in the power supply.

These generators ensure that es­sential services can continue unin­terrupted, even during outages.

The spokesperson said surgeries were not canceled because of the recent outages.

“Our hospitals rely on these gen­erators to maintain the necessary power supply during such situa­tions, allowing us to uphold our commitment to providing qual­ity healthcare services to our pa­tients without interruptions,” the spokesperson said.
