The Ministry of Health and Medical Services said it has decided to halt repair works at the two operating theatres of the National Referral Hospital (NRH) to ensure their renovations are carried out to the highest technical standards.
The locally-owned company, the Tropic Glass and Aluminum (TGA) was contracted to repair the theatres and work have started last Saturday but was halted by Ministry officials in an effort to sort out technical issues before any repair work are done.
The statement said the Health Executive is very conscious of the delay in renovating the Operation Theatres, but the scope of work requires a proper assessment and procurement of appropriate materials from outside the country.
