GEORGE TOWN: The Penang Hospital continues to function as usual despite being hit by floods in one portion. Penang director of health Datuk Dr M. Sukumar said 104 patients and several newborn babies were moved to flood-free wards and all patients continued to receive their treatment. Strong winds and heavy rain lashed Penang since yesterday, causing unprecedented floods in several areas that have resulted in three deaths and the evacuation of over 2,000 people. Dr Sukumar said the hospital in-patient and out-patient services, as well as the ambulance service, were operating as usual. He advised the people against spreading false information on the floods at the hospital, saying nothing should be done to panic the next-of-kin of patients.
