Two hospitals in Christchurch have made a public cry for all their borrowed medical equipment to be returned “urgently” as their stock runs low.
Christchurch Hospital and Burwood Hospital are both running low on walking frames that are needed for patients, they’ve turned to ex-patients for the solution.
Jacqui Lunday Johnstone, the Canterbury executive director of Allied Health has asked former hospital patients to return any equipment they may have borrowed from either hospital.
“[Anyone who] has forgotten to return it – no matter how long ago – is asked to give it back,” said Johnstone.
“No questions asked.”
