14 December 2009Before I left for my holiday and the study tour new blue curtains were being put up throughout the hospital. On my return to work I discovered that a lot of new beds and other equipment had been delivered as well. The new beds were a very welcome arrival particularly in the children’s ward. The very poor condition of the cots had been compounded over the years by adult family members lying on them. Complete families come with patients bringing sleeping mats, cooking equipment etc but why sleep on the floor if there is an empty bed in the ward? The mattresses are therefore removed from beds and cots to make this a less attractive proposition. Besides the beds there was a ventilator, small steriliser, baby warmer and two incubators.
