Eboli Hospital Maria Santissima Addolorata Hit by Power Outage and AC Failure

A sudden failure of the main electrical supply struck the Maria Santissima Addolorata Hospital in Eboli, Italy, prompting the activation of emergency generators. Critical life‑support equipment remained operational, but the outage disrupted the hospital’s computer network, slowing access to digital records, admissions and discharge procedures.

The loss of power also knocked out the air‑conditioning system across patient wards, common areas and waiting rooms. High summer temperatures have intensified the discomfort for patients, relatives and staff, raising concerns about adequate ventilation and heat stress. Hospital management issued a directive to limit energy consumption while technicians work to repair the central power unit and fully restore service.

Authorities and hospital personnel continue to monitor the situation, aiming to reinstate normal operations and climate control as quickly as possible.
