– We have a power supply for the most critical functions at the hospital, so that immediate help functions are taken care of, says clinic manager Odd Kåre Hestmo at Namsos Hospital in a press release. He adds that they are in the process of planning the activity in case the power outage becomes prolonged. It is uncertain when the power will return. “Unfortunately, some planned patient activities are postponed today due to the power outage,” says clinic manager Hestmo. Communications adviser Robert Morberg tells news that there are a few non-critical interventions that have been postponed, and that there are a handful. Working to find the cause It was at 06.30 that the hospital lost power supply. Efforts are now being made to find out the cause of the power outage. – The real estate department is also a troubleshooter, and has called in what is needed by professionals. A screwdriver does not work here, says Morberg. Very hot It has been reported over 20 degrees in Namsos today, which can be problematic. The hospital states that it can be a challenge as the ventilation systems are not in operation due to the power outage. – That’s how it goes according to the conditions. The challenge today is the heat, says Morberg, who adds that the challenges will be greater if the power outage is prolonged.
