Nat'l Cardiovascular Institute resumes surgery after a 14-day closure
Out-of-service air conditioner of the ICU causes the health service disruption
After a 14-day closure including five days' Eid vacation, the National Institute of Cardiovascular Diseases (NICVD) resumed cardiac surgery on Tuesday.
"Cardiac surgery was not performed for these five days from 19-23 April, due to the Eid holidays," said Prof Dr Mir Jamal Uddin, director of the National Heart Institute and Hospital, in a press release issued on Tuesday.
However, after the Eid holidays, the hospital authority was forced to keep the surgery stop for a few more days due to the out-of-service air conditioner of the intensive care unit (ICU), it added.
