Doctors warn care standards compromised as NT's busiest hospital ages

Doctors are raising alarms about the declining care standards at the Northern Territory's busiest hospital, the Royal Darwin Hospital, due to aging infrastructure and outdated equipment. These concerns have emerged following incidents like a mother being asked to give birth in a tearoom and a baby discharged with jaundice during a particularly busy night. This situation underscores the urgent need for modernization to ensure patient safety and quality care, highlighting broader issues in healthcare funding and infrastructure maintenance.
