Halifax Infirmary CANADAHALIFAX news Some surgeries being rescheduled after water main break at Halifax Infirmary by admin 3 أبريل، 2024 written by admin 3 أبريل، 2024 114 CITYnews halifax / By Mark Hodgins Nova Scotia Health says a “significant water event” at the QEII’s Halifax Infirmary site is creating big problems at the hospital. In a release, NSH said a broken water main line resulted in the loss of water and steam for all buildings on that campus – the Halifax Infirmary, Veterans Memorial Building and Abbie J. Lane. “There is currently no running water for flushing toilets or drinking. Hand sanitizer is available and we are working to bring in drinking water and portable hand-washing stations/washrooms to as soon as possible,” the release read. The hospital says all elective and non-urgent surgeries and procedures at the site are being cancelled and rescheduled. “The emergency department is open but patients without emergency concerns are asked to visit another emergency department or virtual/community access point,” it said. In an email to CityNews, Nova Scotia Health spokesperson Carla Adams said the water main was expected to be fixed today. “A repair plan is underway for the broken pipe at the steam plant and water will be brought back online this evening. That will allow for regular operations but the water will not be drinkable for 24+ hours as a precaution,” Adams wrote.” Adams said some appointments had been moved as of 5 p.m. Wednesday, and some ambulances were sent from the ED to Dartmouth General. Water was being delivered to inpatient units for drinking and portable washrooms had been delivered to building entrances. Final numbers on cancelled surgeries were expected by Thursday morning. 0 comment 0 FacebookTwitterPinterestEmail admin previous post ‘Starlight tour’: Mi’kmaq fisher allegedly dumped without boots or phone feared death next post رحيل مجدد الأغنية العراقية كوكب حمزة بعيداً عن وطنه You may also like كندا تتراجع عن وعدها بتسوية أوضاع المقيمين بشكل... 14 نوفمبر، 2024 Watchdog says Tims card brouhaha shows N.S. electoral... 14 نوفمبر، 2024 Halifax police investigate suspicious incident where woman approached... 14 نوفمبر، 2024 Man charged after police respond to stabbing call... 14 نوفمبر، 2024 Pair arrested after search of illegal cannabis store,... 14 نوفمبر، 2024 Damaged Nova Scotia-P.E.I. ferry expected to resume sailing... 14 نوفمبر، 2024 Nova Scotia NDP releases election platform focused on... 14 نوفمبر، 2024 غسان البراكس: الصليب الأحمر الكندي يدعم بقوة نظيره... 14 نوفمبر، 2024 نوفا سكوشا: لجنة الانتخابات تحقق في توزيع بطاقات... 14 نوفمبر، 2024 Latest survey shows majority of votes would go... 12 نوفمبر، 2024
