Staff at the Jaffna Teaching Hospital said that damage found to a brand new C-arm scanner at the hospital may have been deliberate sabotage, after the machine was found broken just days after being repaired.
According to a report in the Sunday Times, this is the second time in recent months that the Rs 15 million machine has been found damaged. In a previous incident a crucial part needed for the machine to function was stolen and never located.
Sri Lankan police are now reportedly carrying out enquiries at the hospital.
