Temporary fix at Princess Margaret Hospital after A&E flooding
Flooding in the Accident and Emergency (A&E) Department of the Princess Margaret Hospital in Morant Bay, St Thomas, on Tuesday caused minimal disruption to services, the administrators have asserted. Melecia Linton, the hospital’s chief executive officer, told The Gleaner that the flooding was caused by a gutter from an adjoining building overflowing into the A&E structure. She said the water leaked along the walls of the building and also saturated tiles, but she said the flooding, which began about 8 a.m., was contained about two hours later.
