Acting Chief Executive Officer Dr Sheik Amir and other hospital managers say patient overcrowding and staff shortages continue to plague the Georgetown Public Hospital (GPH).
At a media breakfast held at the hospital on Friday, Dr Amir said the GPH is facing a number of issues that are out of its control.
Of grave concern, Dr Amir noted, is that since the hospital is the only national referral institute, it sees 8,000 patients per week, while there is a shortage of beds.
Dr Amir said the shortage of beds has a lot to do with relatives who have neglected their family members who are patients at the hospital.
