According to the release, activities of the Dental and Children's Wards would be suspended from today and has therefore appealed to clients to note and attend other healthcare facilities nearby during the fumigation exercise.

"Management is appealing to clients for their cooperation and understanding for their own good as the exercise would end on Sunday, December 4, any inconveniences caused is very much regretted," it read.
