KOTA KINABALU: Power supply has returned to the Queen Elizabeth Hospital here, 24 hours after it went dark due to damaged cables, Sabah Health director Datuk Dr Rose Nani Mudin said.
"Yesterday, the electrical supply was fully restored at about 3pm.
"Preliminary reports from the technical group found that there were damaged cables that had led to the power supply disruption," she told the New Straits Times.
