PMGH Director for Medical Services, Dr. Koni Sobi, announced this during the donation of three new vital Observation Monitors to the Emergency Department.

“The important point is for the staff and the patients to respect property. This is all in turn will help to care for our healthcare needs. Public property in the hospital is everyone’s responsibility to protect,” he stated.

The reason for this call to action was due to the damaged equipment in the recent past by a patient.

According to Director Medical Services, Dr Koni Sobi said about hundred (100) staff of the hospital were also infected, most of them had mild infections. Some have resumed after a 3 to 5-day isolation. However as expected, staff isolation is adding pressure on existing rosters in respective clinical areas.

As at the time of this report, there were 22 in-patients in the ward all having comorbidities, with half of them on some amount of oxygen, while others in room air.
