Whilethe condition ofthe porters is stable,the surgery needed to repairtheir injured limps has been slow due tothe limited capacity inthe Angau hospital’s operatingtheatres.
On Wednesday morning,the hospital was put under enormous strain asthe eight injured porters were brought in along with at least four victims of anther unrelated vehicle accident.
As of yesterday, doctors were still struggling to find time slots to have surgery done onthe eight patients.
Angau has four operatingtheatres. Bet two ofthem can’t be used becausethe equipment is out of order.
Staff numbers for the surgical unit have also been drastically reduced from 15 to 9’s urgical nurses making it very difficult to maintain three shifts.
Yesterday, doctors expressed frustration overtheir inability to performtheir duties efficiently.
