SINGKAWANG - A total of 86 patients at the Abdul Azis Singkawang Hospital, West Kalimantan were again transferred to a safe place, because the flood returned to the patient's ward. "The heavy rains that have occurred in Singkawang City since Saturday night have caused several roads to be flooded. One of them is at Abdul Aziz Hospital Singkawang and as a result, dozens of patients were affected by flooding because water entered the ward," said Director of the Abdul Aziz Hospital Singkawang, Achmad Hardin in Singkawang, Antara, Sunday, November 6. He said the water level reached 10 centimeters which inundated several rooms such as child wards, surgical wards, internal medicine, VIPs and ISO rooms. From these conditions, as many as 86 patients were affected by the flood, with details of 30 patients in the internal medicine room, 22 patients in the pediatric room, 22 patients in the surgical room, 7 patients in the VIP room and 5 patients in the ISO room. "So a total of 86 patients were affected by the flood, with details of 39 men and 47 women," said Hardin. However, this did not prevent the patient from being evacuated. "No patients have been evacuated, because the water has begun to gradually recede," he said. Then, said Hardin, other rooms affected by the flood were HD rooms, laboratories, nutrition rooms, CSSD and IPSRS. "I hope the intensity of rainfall will no longer be high, so that the flood will recede soon. And services can return to normal," he said.
