According to local media reports, the outage lasted close to two hours, during which time the hospital’s backup systems, including inverters and generators, either failed or remained non‑operative. Officials and on‑scene accounts indicate that emergency lighting did not activate as expected, intensifying the distress among families and patients in critical condition. The situation triggered frustration among families, many of whom said they had previously complained about erratic electricity and malfunctioning backup systems. Previous reports highlighted similar power issues, and videos even showed attendants fanning patients manually when fans and lighting systems failed. However, citizens deserve assurance that emergency backup systems, routine maintenance, and transparent accountability mechanisms are in place and functioning reliably.
