The dialysis room would be kept closed for two to three days until repair work gets completed

Almost a year after a part of a newly constructed column came down on a stroke patient at the ICU of King Edward Memorial (KEM) Hospital, a similar incident that took place on Wednesday evening, has left patients in a state of shock. Around 8.30 pm, when seven patients were undergoing dialysis, a part of the room's false roof came crashing down on them. While two of them have suffered minor injuries, the others escaped unhurt. In order to avoid any inconvenience for the patients, the hospital has temporarily installed two machines in a different room.
