Chandigarh: Patients, staff struggle as non-functional lifts plague GMSH-16
Hindustan TimesPatients and staff at Government Multi-Specialty Hospital, Sector 16, are bearing the brunt of non-functional lifts, despite repeated pleas to the UT engineering department for repairs. In the multi-storey building opposite the emergency ward, one of the three lifts, intended for patient use, has been non-functional for nearly a month, according to hospital staff. Multiple lifts in the multi-storey building, which houses several wards, and in the out-patient department block have been out of service for days, forcing many patients and their families to either climb multiple flights of stairs or cram into overcrowded lifts. Director of health services Dr Suman Singh confirmed that multiple lifts have been inoperative for around 15 days and that the hospital has formally requested action from the UT engineering department.
