Power has been restored at Queen Elizabeth Central Hospital after services were disrupted on Wednesday due to a technical fault on the hospital’s electricity distribution panel.

The hospital’s director of operations Dr. Samson Mndolo has confirmed of the development in an interview with the state controlled Malawi Broadcasting Corporation (MBC).

According to Mndolo, services at the referral health facility are back to normal.
