Engineers do not recommend repairs
because…
• Buildings are 90 years old
• Extensive repairs needed
• Even if repaired - guaranteed only for 10 years
- high maintenance cost
• Aggressive environment with high rate of natural decay
- high maintenance cost of even new buildings- difficult maintenance of sensitive surgical electronic & electrical equipment
We need a new hospital away from the sea
Best option is ……
near the existing
non Maternity Teaching Hospital &
the Medical Faculty
