HOSPITAL RENOVATIONS

The hospital works hard daily to house clinics, patients, surgeries, births, and emergencies. They have made many wonderful improvements over the years, but they still need repairs to the older parts, and they still have some areas of unmet needs.

The maternity wards need to be renovated. Some of the windows are broken, the paint is chipped, and there are missing parts of some of the walls. The maternity waiting area for family members is small and definitely could be improved. Another one of the patient wards is partially under renovation. It seems that renovations started, but have not finished, probably due to a lack of funds.

The space that the lab occupies needs renovation and possibly expansion. The walls of the lab are crumbling away in some places, and the paint is missing.

The funeral home and morgue are in disrepair. The ceiling is stained from many leaks from the rain. The little chapel area has some benches for grieving families to sit on, but they are hard, the paint is chipping, and there is plenty of rust on them. The walls are plain, and most of the light fixtures are broken. The podium needs to be repaired. The step is too large to get into the building. It is a tall enough distance, as if a step should be added or a ramp to allow family members to enter easily. The morgue is in great need of better racks to hold the bodies. The racks were rusty and bent and unable to slide smoothly.

The public bathrooms are the older Asian style of a vault under the floor that gravity flows out of the building. The bathrooms need flush toilets and updating of the sewage system to keep the hospital clean and to service the large number of daily visitors to the hospital and the staff.

The administrative offices in the main hospital building need to be moved out of the first floor to make more room for daily clinics, as the population has grown greatly over the last 50 years. These offices need to move to the administrative/radiology building next door so that the hospital's first floor can be used for the clinics.
