Poor maintenance of lifts at Stanley Hospital super-speciality block causes hardship

Patients and elderly visitors at the six-storey super-speciality block of Government Stanley Medical College Hospital in Chennai are facing significant delays due to poorly maintained and unreliable lifts. Attenders report that the elevators operate slowly and occasionally stall between floors.

Resident Medical Officer B. Vanithamalar stated that the issue will be addressed with the Public Works Department. Hospital authorities noted that the lifts are assigned to specific floors to manage overcrowding and reduce wear and tear on the equipment.
