The incident also had a significant impact on the structure of the top floor.“
3 geriatric departments are concerned, which is equivalent to a hundred beds. The patients were transferred to other hospitals, in particular near Mouscron. The management is currently looking for a solution for the crèche which is located on the ground floor.
