Day 3 - hospitals

On this day, we visited the General Hospital and a smaller private hospital in downtown PaP. Where about 40% of the General Hospital buildings were usable, the private hospital was using only 1 out of 9 buildings! We tracked down the location of the generators and took some photographs documenting the lack of anchorage of such important equipment. In a town where 3 hours of power a day is the norm, it was sad to see the lack of common sense. When I approached the maintenance guy about it, he told me that the "company delivered and left it this way."

At the private hospital, we got to spend a bit more time and took part in a small engineering experiment, involving a very heavy piece of equipment (generator), a truck with a very high bed, 15 brains who all spoke at once, and two guys who just pushed the generator out of the truck.
