THE ENVIRONS OF a hospital are supposed to be healthy, but this was certainly not the case around the Queen Elizabeth Hospital (QEH) in recent days.
A large pile of garbage located directly opposite the exit from the QEH’s Accident & Emergency Department remained uncollected on Martindale’s Road, The City, up to yesterday.  
According to residents, the smelly build-up comprising coconut fronds, bush, plastic bags full of household refuse and even a mattress, among other things, has begun to attract files and rodents. (RL)
