HDOK Director Dr Mohd Fahmie Othman said it was done carefully to ensure radiology services continue without affecting patient treatment. He said on April 28, a certified technician from the supplier conducted an inspection and repair on the X-ray machine located on the 4th floor of the Specialist Clinic, which had been experiencing technical issues since April 17. 'The inspection revealed that the voltage adjustment system (AVR) component was damaged and required a complete replacement. 'As the replacement component was not available in the local market, the supplier took immediate action to procure the component from overseas. 'The hospital is currently awaiting the arrival of the component in order to proceed with the repair and full restoration of the machine,' he added in a statement. He said the hospital greatly appreciates the patience and cooperation of everyone who received the service during this period. * Follow us on Instagram and join our Telegram and/or WhatsApp channel(s) for the latest news you don't want to miss. * Do you have access to the Daily Express e-paper and online exclusive news?
