Ini merupakan kejadian kedua di Hospital Serdang, yang beroperasi sejak Disember 2005, selepas insiden siling di kawasan lobi utama runtuh pada Januari tahun lepas.
SERDANG – Tiga jururawat dan seorang pegawai perubatan wanita Jabatan Kecemasan Hospital Serdang cedera selepas 15 keping papan siling bersaiz 2 kali 2 kaki di jabatan itu runtuh pada 2.45 pagi Isnin.
Pengarah Hospital Serdang Datuk Dr Ardi Awang berkata siasatan awal mendapati kejadian berlaku selepas satu skru yang mengikat lantai siling itu tercabut, menyebabkan siling yang bercantum antara satu sama lain runtuh serentak.
“Ketika kejadian, terdapat tiga jururawat wanita dan seorang pegawai perubatan wanita berusia 20-an sedang betugas di bahagian kaunter meja jururawat manakala pesakit berada di bilik masing-masing.
“Runtuhan itu menyebabkan seorang jururawat menerima jahitan di tangan manakala yang lain cedera di kepala dan belakang badan,” katanya kepada pemberita selepas melawat lokasi kejadian.
Beliau berkata semua mangsa yang cedera menerima rawatan pesakit luar dan kembali menjalankan tugas masing-masing.
Dr Ardi berkata kerja pembaikan siling dijalankan sejak 8 pagi dan berakhir 4 petang tadi tanpa menjejaskan urusan pentadbiran hospital itu.
Beliau berkata barang yang rosak dalam kejadian itu ialah sebuah peralatan melihat salinan sinar-X.
“Kita masih mengkaji punca sebenar kejadian dan memantau keseluruhan kawasan itu… pemeriksaan yang lebih rapi selepas ini akan memastikan tidak ada lagi runtuhan siling berlaku,” katanya.
Serdang Hospital ceiling collapses, four staff injuredSERDANG: Three nurses and a female medical officer at the Serdang Hospitals' Emergency Department were injured when 15 ceiling pieces measuring 2 ft x 2 ft each collapsed at 2.45am on Monday.
The hospital's director Datuk Dr Ardi Awang said the initial investigation found the incident happened when a screw holding the ceiling pieces together had come off, sending the pieces crashing down.
"At that time, three nurses and a female medical officer were at work at the nurses' counter while the patients were in their respective rooms.
"One of the nurses received stitches for her hand injury while the rest were injured on their head and back, but not seriously," he told reporters after visiting the scene of the incident.
He said the injured were given outpatient treatment and returned to their duties after that.
Dr Ardi said the repair work to the ceiling was carried out from 8am to 4pm without affecting the Emergency Department's operation.
He said no hospital equipment were damaged in the mishap except for a device for viewing x-ray pictures.
"We are still investigating to find out the actual cause of the incident and checking on the other areas of the hospital to avoid such an incident," he added.
This was the second such incident at Serdang Hospital which has been operating since December 2005, after the first incident involving the ceiling at the main lobby which collapsed in January last year.
