The
First Maternity House, closed since January 18, was re-opened on Friday after
undergoing general repairs. The hospital was closed after the outbreak of
infection among new born babies that was traced to defective sewage pipes. Prime
Minister S.Batbold met the hospital officials and the city authorities and arranged
for Government funds to pay for the repairs.

The
hospital has 240 beds and received 26 in-patients on Friday.
