Roof over unused area in Osmania hospital collapses

: Layers of roof over an unused area in the state-run Osmania General Hospital here have collapsed, a hospital official said Monday.

The incident occurred in the area belonging to the radiology department Friday, he said.

The location was utilised for storing non-functional medical equipment, he said.

The government was considering constructing a new building, he added.

Some junior doctors at the hospital had worked wearing helmets in September last to highlight the alleged dilapidated condition of the century-old building.
