MMCH patients moved to corridors after discovery of crack in building
Some 80 patients were shifted to the corridors of the five-storey 500-bed Mymensingh Medical College Hospital (MMCH) after cracks were noticed on the ceilings of four wards on the evening of October 14.
Patients of wards 10 and 11 on the first floor first noticed some cracks and panic spread. They were moved to the corridors followed by patients of ward 1 and 20 on the ground and third floors respectively, said witnesses.
MMCH Director Brig General Md Fashiur Rahman told The Daily Star that there was nothing to be concerned about as only some plasters had come off and there were no cracks. The repairs will be done after Eid, he said.
