Some families have reported concerns regarding the quality of care and staff responsiveness, with specific criticism directed at neglect in post-operative and elderly patient care. Issues mentioned include unresponsiveness to patient needs, communication challenges, and unsanitary conditions. Conversely, other areas of the facility, such as the maternity and neonatal intensive care units, have been praised for their high-quality care and adherence to COVID-19 protocols, with staff being noted for their professionalism and supportiveness.
