Concrete poured into the hospital clinic

We asked the director of the clinic about the event. – In the middle of the hospital building complex we have renovation at the moment, construction is underway. To the building where we have cloakrooms of staff and a trauma and orthopedic clinic, there will be a wall that builders poured out and this building has windows. They inadequately secured the formwork and through one of these windows, together with the Framuga, concrete poured into the part of the clinic – said Bogusław Latcz. And he added: – Nothing happened to anyone, patients were in the neighboring room, but we evacuated the entire building and at that moment the builders are reviewing the building and we are waiting for their decision whether this building could be safely exploited, or at least we have to find a different location for all those activities that were there.

The circumstances of the Wednesday event at the hospital in Nowy Sącz are also explained by the building supervision inspector.
