Queen Elizabeth II Hospital, which stirred a lot of controversies before and after its closure by government three years ago, is back, albeit providing limited free services.
Not many people could have guessed in just a few years after its closure, part of the hospital would be facilitating health services once again.
Nurses, doctors, pharmacy technicians and other healthcare workers could be seen busy at work this week
Popularly known simply as Queen II, the hospital’s closure came upon the completion of the construction of the Queen ‘Mamohato Memorial Hospital, which subsequently became Lesotho’s national referral hospital.
Yet while Queen II’s infrastructure is a far cry from the state-of-the-art Queen ‘Mamohato Memorial Hospital, widely known as Tšepong, its workers appeared not to mind as they cheerfully went about their business.
The shorter queues, which were alien to the hospital at its closure, create a hard-to-believe scenario that this could be the same hospital that had caused so much pain due to poor service and unfavorable working conditions.
