The incident was caused by a malfunction in the water temperature regulator, leading to an increase in temperature and pressure. As a result, parts of the ceiling and an adjacent wall collapsed, but no injuries were reported, and there was no impact on the safety of patients or staff. The incident was limited to material damages. A team from the ministry has been formed to follow up on the incident and the necessary procedures. The device is being monitored by the operating company, and the situation does not threaten the continuity of healthcare services.
