Newly released security camera footage shows the moment last month's magnitude 6.8 quake shook Kumamoto General Hospital in Japan. Four surgeries were under way at the time, and the hospital said all four operations were successfully completed.
What does the footage show?
Footage from a camera in an operating room where an abdominal surgery was being performed shows medical staff shielding the patient with their bodies as equipment swayed violently. It also shows a nurse opening a door to secure an evacuation route.
When did the hospital return to normal services?
Kumamoto General Hospital resumed normal outpatient services on 5 August, after suspending them following the earthquake on 28 July.
