For 24 hours no electricity at Bombay Hospital


Leading hospital in Mumbai is in a state of near-emergency. A short circuit led to a minor fire on Monday morning. Since then, the Bombay Hospital near Churchgate Station has been waiting for the power supply to be restored.
Privately-owned hospital's Intensive Care Units and 22 Operating Theatres are using generators. Close to 700 patients and their families are in acute discomfort. The private hospital has four buildings. In most, elevators are not working. While air conditioners are not operational, even fans and lights are being used sparingly. Patients who have appointments for tests are being turned away.
