Cockroaches crawling on the hospital beds.

FIONA Abuu recounted her distressing experience at King Dinuzulu Hospital hospital, where a cockroach infestation allegedly overshadowed the care she received after her Caesarean section.

She is a second patient to express concern over hygiene conditions at King Dinuzulu Hospital, formerly known as King George V Hospital.

Abuu, 34, of Newlands East, said she was admitted to the hospital six months ago when she gave birth to her daughter via Caesarean section.

While she praised the medical staff and the care she received, she said the condition of the ward left her distressed and eager to return home.
