The hospital was equipped with a computerised system and all administrative work and transactions would go through the system.
In July 2004, part of the hospital was opened but it closed down two months later due to the presence of fungal infection detected in the hospital.[1] It was reopened in February 2006, but in April 2007 structural defects were found which involved replacing parts of the roof.[2]
