Surgical operations were suspended at the University College Hospital (UCH) Ibadan, Oyo State, over the lack of water supply to the hospital on Wednesday.
EKO HOT BLOG gathered that the teaching hospital has been experiencing water scarcity in the last few days.
This led to the suspension of surgical operations by the Medical Doctors just as hundreds of patients on admission and their relatives have had to go through stress for the lack of potable water in the health facility.
Some of the patients, who are currently on admission in the hospital, said they buy bags of satchel water to bathe and flush the toilets in the hospital.
A relative of one of the patients disclosed that doctors in the hospital told his family member that they have suspended surgical operations in the hospital as a result of scarcity of water.
“Someone who has been on admission at UCH for days just called me now that there has not been water supply to UCH for four days now.
“Patients buy bags of satchel water to bath and flush toilet. He is on admission for surgery and because of the water situation, doctors told him no surgery for now,” he said.
Speaking, the Public Relations Officer of the hospital, Toye Akinrinlola, said that the water scarcity was caused by ongoing renovation in the hospital.
Akinrinlola added that the renovation is expected to be completed in the next three weeks.
The suspension of surgical operations in UCH occasioned by water scarcity is coming few hours after President Muhamadu Buhari left Nigeria for a medical checkup in London on Tuesday.
