SLBMC Temporarily Restricts Operational Hours for Outpatient Clinics
The Sir Lester Bird Medical Centre outpatient clinic will temporarily have restricted operational hours starting next week. This is because they must carry out essential upgrades to improve their facilities.
From September 4th to 8th, the clinic will only be open from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. Patients who are affected by this temporary restriction will be contacted by the care team. Although they understand that this may cause inconvenience, they appreciate the public’s understanding. The health institution invests in its facilities and services to better serve its patients.
The hospital is upgrading or replacing the air conditioning units, and the temporary restriction will allow the work to proceed while still giving patients access to medical care.
