According to JM this morning, the Dr Nelìo Mendonça Hospital’s A & E Department has been swamped with emergencies.
Only last Wednesday, the department dealt with 500 people, the highest number ever recorded, stated Hospital Service Director, Rita Vieria.
Most of the patients were elderly, and yesterday, the department was yet again under pressure from the sheer number of people needing treatment.
