Taking to social media, a video which saw medical officers at the Melaka Hospital transferring staff after a lift failure has made its way onto social media.
The viral video which showed the process of transferring patients who were on the fourth floor to the third floor, left netizens unimpressed with the hospital management.
Here is a video of the incident.
With the caption: “I don’t know how else to approach hospital management with this.”
“Please YB, help our staff. Here is a video of medical officer carrying a patient, down the stairs to the ICU.”
The State Health, Human Resources and Unity Committee Chairman Ngwe Hee Sem said:
“The viral video shows the process of transferring patients who are on the fourth-floor ward to the third floor by using the stairs due to a lift service disruption at Block F of Melaka Hospital.”
“The transferring of patients via stairs was carried out based on the urgency and continuity of treatment of critical patients.”
Currently, Melaka Hospital is carrying out lift upgrading at several blocks of the hospital and lift operations are expected to be reduced to make way for progress.
