Journalist Osman Stafa, who closely followed the unprecedented event yesterday at the 'Mother Teresa' Hospital Center, where electricity went out for almost 40 minutes, stated that the incident should be investigated for abuse of power.
He said on the News24 lunch program that the Ministry of Health should have reacted and shown what had happened.
"There are 3 lines to guarantee electricity in the QSUT. But none of them have worked. For the situation that happened last night, where for 30-40 minutes, there was no electricity in the QSUT, investigations should have been launched. It is a clear abuse of duty. Is the generator put into operation? We do not know what happened. What happened that one of the buildings had electricity and the other did not?! QSUT, the directorate, the Ministry of Health, have not come out to declare; this happened, we have taken these measures and this is expected! Even in times of war, a hospital did not lose electricity. What did these people do, forced yesterday, they took patients from the central resuscitation, sending them to other wards. There are two buildings there," he said.
