Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the GPHC, Michael Khan said the plant has been in operation for a few days for the purpose of verification. He explained that the plant which is currently providing 300,000 bottles of water daily for the facility will, in approximately two to three years, pay for itself.
It was noted that a technician has been appointed to ensure the proper maintenance of equipment.
The renal (dialysis) unit at the hospital is among several others on which there will be a direct impact by plant, as it is one that depends on water to carry out its functions.
