adminhospital has been experiencing intermittent power supplies. Parirenyatwa Hospital engineer Mr Lincoln Haparimwi yesterday confirmed the restoration of power.
“Everything is back to normal. We had slight deeps for the past three days but it was not complete darkness. It was because Zesa officials were working on the main substations that supply power to the hospital,” he said.
Eng Haparimwi said the hospital had 14 back up generators to cover for essential services.
The power outage had affected operations at one of Zimbabwe’s biggest referral hospitals.
Patients were reportedly given orange juice and bread as cookers were down. A visit to Parirenyatwa Hospital yesterday revealed that things were back to normal with patients and health workers confirming power had been restored.
Meanwhile, there were long queues at nearly all Zesa revenue halls in town yesterday with thousands of residents owing Zesa rushing to pay to avoid being disconnected. However, customers claimed that the system was slow as tellers were recording payments manually.
