Power was out at the Women’s and Children’s Hospital for more than 45 minutes on Wednesday afternoon – the third outage in two years.
SA Health said the blackout occurred at 5.22pm in the Rogerson Building, which houses 24-hour children’s and maternity operating theatres.
Engineers were investigating on Wednesday night what caused the power disruption for more than 45 minutes.
An SA Health spokeswoman said no other buildings were affected. Backup generators kicked in.
“There were no adverse outcomes and patient care was not affected,” she added.
It is the third blackout at the hospital in the last two years.
