Patient admissions in the medicine department will remain suspended until the fire site is declared safe for use, said the hospital's Assistant Director Rezwanul Alam Rayhan. He added that no new patients are being admitted to the medicine department, and under the health director's orders, patients are being sent to Barishal Sadar Hospital. The health director mentioned that rehabilitating patients will take time, estimating at least three days to complete. "Except for the ground floor, the remaining floors will be operational for patient care. However, normal operations on the ground floor will take longer to resume," he added.
