Despite Six Billion in COVID19 Fund ANC Does Not Test More, Yet Over 40% of People Can Have CoronaVirus Without Symptoms, but Government Only Tests Symptomatic Patients or those with Travel History?

Posted on Leave a comment
Corona Virus projection

As South Africa’s number of officially infected people creeps up very slowly (if we can trust the official figures), relative to other nations, with the number of new infections increasing only by 70 since Saturday to 1,655 with eleven deaths, it highlights that this number is only dependent on the amount of tests being done. Less tests, less patients. Scientists have also found that many people, close to 40% or more, who have contracted the coronavirus have no symptoms, so unless you test widely, you cannot know the true extent of the disease.

Corona virus spreads dramatically – How long before it reaches South Africa and will the ANC regime be able to curb it ?

Posted on Leave a comment

The dreaded new Corona virus is spreading at a tremendous pace and has already killed more than 100 cases, with more than 4,500 reported cases of infection.

The Chinese’s desperate efforts at dozens of measures to curb the spread of the virus are seen as a futile exercise by scientists.

According to a panel of scientists, it is projected that the cases that already have an infection are closer to 45,000, and that the infections double every week.

The government has closed ten cities to prevent back and forth, and two hospitals, each with 1,000 beds, have been set up to accommodate the patients who are flowing to hospitals.

Allegations are being made that the Communist government of China will not disclose the real state of affairs in order to protect the image and business confidence.

Several countries, including the US and Japan, have already sent airplanes to get their citizens out of China before severe conditions hit the people.

10 Babies die at Tembisa Hospital, Gauteng due to outbreak of antibiotic resistant bacteria – deaths could have been avoided if there was sustainable hygiene and sufficient staff

Posted on Leave a comment

The SA Human Rights Commission says the Tembisa Hospital in Gauteng urgently needs more staff after another 10 babies have died in the institution.

The babies born in the hospital have died in recent weeks, and although numerous reasons have been stated, the hospital is held responsible for the death of all the babies.

The allegations are that insects are causing the death of another 10 babies, which are believed to be present due to poor hygiene in the building.

The outbreak of antibiotic-resistant bacteria caused the babies to die in less than two months, and now the Human Rights Commission says the hospital will solve the problem by appointing more staff.

However, experts believe the problem could have been avoided with good, and sustainable, hygiene, which does not necessarily mean that more staff is needed.

Department of Health: Medical negligence claims increase to more than R104 billion in 2019 due to negligence & extremely poor medic services in health sector

Posted on Leave a comment

Claims of patients instituted due to medical negligence by the state’s institutions have risen dramatically, highlighting the extremely poor medical services in the health sector.

Over the past four years to 2019, more than R104 billion has been claimed by patients or their relatives against the Department of Health.

Observers point out that this is a clear indication of the quality of health services in state entities, which according to statistics is a four-fold increase in claims over the previous four-year term.

The claims are largely due to negligence in government hospitals, and people who do not have a medical scheme are the victims because they have no alternative solution.

National Health Insurance: Medical specialists and doctors threaten to flee overseas

Posted on Leave a comment
National Health Insurance: Medical specialists and doctors threaten to flee overseas The new National Health Insurance (NHI) that the ANC-regime wants to implement is facing fierce opposition from doctors and medical professionals in the Free State. These medics are currently threatening to go overseas, meanwhile, the Free State DA has also been involved in a fight with Montsent Tsiu, the MEC of Health in the province. The parties involved confirm that the NHI is going to become an unaffordable system that is doomed even before it is implemented. The doctors support the principle of health care for all but reckon that the NHI is not a feasible system. It is believed that if doctors are first harmed by being prohibited from opening private practices and patients are forced upon them whom they must pay attention within 24 hours, they will simply walk. According to reports from Network 24, Marietta Pittaway, DA MPW, accused Tsiu of sitting in the Free State Legislature for "prematurely" informing parliament that the Free State provincial government and the larger Free State community supported the NGO, while the process of public participation has barely begun. But Tsiu said she only sent letters of objection to the names of those who supported the NHI as a bill and those who opposed it. She acknowledged that she had informed parliament that the province's executive committee supports the proposed bill. Pittaway accused Tsiu of "undermining" and "disrupting" his public participation processes, which are yet to take place. Pittaway also said the DA had a complaint with National Health Minister Dr Zweli Mkhize tabled on this. Meanwhile, Dr Freek Bester, Bloemfontein specialist and former president of the Free State Bone of the South African Medical Association (Sama), said that Free State specialists and doctors had filed grievances and concerns in two bulky sets of documents at Sama and the South African Private Practitioners Forum. Bester says if the law becomes a reality, it's going to double Eskom's budget and could open the door to similar problems of mismanagement and corruption that currently exist with Eskom, Prasa and SAA. It could also mean that large sums of money, like what happens at other government entities, will be nationalized as healthcare. Bester says there are doctors who threaten to pack their bags if they are harmed and prescribed by the NHI. "This is because doctors do not want to be restrained and want to be prescribed and overthrown by a lot of state officials all the time." Bester also says the problem is that little detailed information is provided. "Doctors support the principle of healthcare for everyone, but reckon that the NHI will become an affordable system that is doomed even before it is implemented." Bester says the Free State doctors he spoke to do not think it will be "enforceable legislation". Pittaway believes Tsiu has undermined parliamentary processes by informing parliament about the Free State's sentiment on the bill, while Free State sessions are still barely started or finalized. According to Pittaway, Tsiu hampered the processes of public participation with her "irresponsible" and "politically motivated actions" by also handing out leaflets, which support the proposed legislation, at public meetings in the Free State. “The Free State Department of Health must play an independent role, but now everyone is in the blink of an eye. “It has blatantly undermined Parliament's role and its process of public participation, as prescribed by law. This is set out in the Lamosa decision in a court case on a similar case. " Tsiu's behaviour could bring legal challenges to the bill, Pittaway said. “The DA has an alternative Sizani Universal Health Plan, which can deliver quality health without crippling the economy. "The DA has submitted more than 87,000 submissions from doctors as well as the public to the relevant portfolio committee of Parliament and will ensure that everyone is looked at," Pittaway said.

The new National Health Insurance (NHI) that the ANC-regime wants to implement is facing fierce opposition from doctors and medical professionals in the Free State. These medics are currently threatening to go overseas, meanwhile, the Free State DA has also been involved in a fight with Montsent Tsiu, the MEC of Health in the province…

New Health Plan poses huge risk to SA’s economy and would be disastrous if implemented – even far left FW de Klerk Foundation have their doubts!

Posted on Leave a comment

The ANC regime has South Africa’s people in a huge dilemma with its National Health Plan.

Foreign media reports that a government spokesman said the plan would be implemented gradually, but that would depend on the economic growth achieved.

Experts point out that the country will not show any significant growth in the next five years, with the massive unemployment still rising.

The plan is believed to be “rolled out” in phases as economic growth improves, but experts point out that nothing has been said about what will happen if the economy recedes further.

Opinionists believe this will mean that the tax assessment could increase dramatically, and ultimately the entire Plan will fail.

Even the far left FW de Klerk Foundation believes implementing the Health Plan will be yet another disaster for South Africa.
