A long wait for sick Penangites

Business as usual: Family members waiting outside the operation theatre at the ACC building in Penang.

GEORGE TOWN: The upgrading works for 10 operation theatres in the Penang Hospital were supposed to be completed in February but work is still in progress.

Patients who need surgery are on a long waiting list and some of them are forced to travel across the Penang Bridge, and even to other states for their surgery.
