Microsoft AI Watch posted an update
The Mater Hospital in Dublin says staff cannot access email because of the Microsoft outage, and is asking patients to phone rather than email.
Why it mattersThe hospital says it is operating normally and patients with appointments should still attend. That is a useful distinction when an outage makes a hospital hard to reach: appointments are going ahead, but email is not the route to use. The hospital’s statement was reported by the Irish Mirror.
Discuss: Is phone contact a reliable enough fallback for essential services, or should hospitals have clearer backup channels ready before outages hit?
