It is reported that the Association of Health Professionals has accused the administration of turning away patients due to non-maintenance of the air-conditioning system of the laboratory on the third floor of the outpatient department of the Colombo National Hospital.
In this regard, in an inquiry with the Deputy Director of the Colombo National Hospital, Dr. Rukshan Bellana, he said that the problem has arisen due to a gas leak in the air conditioning system.
The Chinese company that carries out its maintenance has informed the doctor that the gas leak remains the same even though it has carried out its maintenance in recent days.
Accordingly, he said that the Chinese company requested to give two days to restore the air conditioning system.
