PUBLIC ADVISORY # 20 | 24 March 2026.
The Ministry of Health & Medical Services wishes to advise the public that the East Wing lift is currently out of service due to a mechanical fault. Technical assessments and repair arrangements are underway with engineering partners. The Ministry wishes to reassure patients and families that all necessary contingency plans have been activated to ensure the continued safety and care of admitted patients, including those in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) and upper-floor wards. These measures include temporary service adjustments, safe patient transfer protocols, and strengthened clinical and operational oversight. Critical care services have been re-organised where required, with senior medical and nursing teams closely monitoring patient safety at all times.
CWM Hospital is also working with partner facilities to manage patient flow and maintain continuity of care. Members of the public may experience temporary service disruptions, and we kindly ask for patience and understanding during this period. Our staff remain available to assist patients and families as needee. The Ministry remains committed to resolving this issue as quickly as possible. Patient safety, dignity, and wellbeing remain our highest priority, and we thank the public for their continued support as we work through this challenge together.
