According to hospital sources, the issue with the injector has already been reported to the concerned technical agency,TBS and necessary steps are underway to restore it at the earliest. They added that patient care has not been halted and essential diagnostic services continue to be provided.

The authorities further stated that claims of patients being turned away in large numbers due to a complete shutdown of CT services are misleading, as the core CT machine remains operational.

Hospital management reiterated its commitment to patient care and assured that any minor technical issues would be addressed promptly to ensure uninterrupted diagnostic facilities.
