Share

Surgical services at the Bustamante Hospital for Children in Kingston have been disrupted, due to a recent power surge. Only emergency surgeries are being conducted.

In an advisory this morning, the hospital’s management said its technical team is working to resolve the issue and restore full functionality to the affected operating theatres.

In the interim, the hospital says it is implementing necessary measures to minimize the impact on patient care.

These measures include the rescheduling of non-emergency procedures, and where appropriate, transferring urgent cases to nearby facilities.
