WITH power being restored in most areas of Chandigarh, the GMSH 16 is all set to begin elective surgeries from February 24.
According to Dr Suman Singh, Director Health Services, the hospital had to operate the labour room and emergency services on generator on Tuesday. She added that the other departments, however, functioned partially to ensure no burden on the system, though the hospital has a generator of double capacity. With power fully restored in the hospital today morning, Dr Singh said that they will start elective surgeries Thursday onwards, if everything goes well.
Dr Sudhir Garg, Medical Superintendent, GMCH 32, said that the hospital has not faced any issue since the evening of February 22, as there is full backup.
