Three patients treated at the Jaffna Teaching Hospital due to an unidentified fever have died within two days. An investigation into these deaths has been launched today (10), said Jaffna Hospital Director T. Sathyamoorthy. Accordingly, several body parts of the deceased have been sent to Colombo for further tests, he said.
The doctors at the hospital are facing a serious problem as all three of these people died before the disease was diagnosed.
