These patients were taken to the emergency room for a variety of health conditions, including heatstroke, but they died after their ailments were exacerbated by the ward’s non-functional air conditioning equipment, according to the doctors.
They also complained about the hospital’s suffocating heat, which was “killing the patients and also making it impossible for doctors to work” in the emergency department.
Later, the doctors met with the executive director (ED), but were unhappy to learn that the problem could not be resolved immediately.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
