Part of the Cayman Islands Hospital in George Town was evacuated Wednesday morning after smoke triggered a fire alarm.
According to a press release issued by the Health Services Authority, the smoke was emitting from a mechanical room in the dialysis unit.
Patients in the dialysis unit, Urgent Care, the pharmacy and the MRI unit were escorted from the affected areas until the ‘all clear’ was given.
The HSA said the dialysis unit had undergone air quality testing and all services resumed later in the day.
It said dialysis patients had been contacted to reschedule their treatments.
“The Health Services Authority would like to thank our patients, visitors and vendors for their cooperation during this time and apologise for any inconvenience,” the HSA stated.
