A colleague of the deceased, who craved anonymity, spoke with PUNCH about the elevator.
“On multiple occasions, the elevator has stopped while we were inside. And there’s no maintenance,” he said, adding that the hospital management was aware of the poor state of the elevator but failed to act.
“We report every time. The elevator is supposed to carry 630kg maximum, that’s eight people,” he said.
The source added that the late Diaso had two weeks left to the completion of her housemanship at the hospital.
