CT Scans in Karapitiya teaching hospitals Malfunction…..

The two CT scan machines at the Karapitiya Teaching Hospital aren’t working properly, which is seriously annoying the patients. 

The circumstance had put the hospital employees and administration in a difficult position, according to Chathura Welivitiya, deputy chairman of the Karapitiya Teaching Hospital Committee. 

Every day, more than 5,000 patients seek medical attention at Karapitiya Teaching Hospital. 

Ten patients a day are referred for a CT scan, and as a result of two devices failing, patients were forced to seek the services of private hospitals. 

The Karapitiya Teaching Hospital Committee stated that patients at private hospitals must pay a hefty fee for the scan.
