As his body lay just metres from sick patients in the ward, the rodents scurried under and over the sheet that covered it, chewing on his nose and lips.
“When I wanted to see my brother they first handed me a clear bag with rat droppings … that is how they told me my brother had been eaten by rats,” his furious brother Jerome Khali told the Sunday Times.

Posted on Leave a comment
The South African Committee of Medical Deans (SACoMD) has called on the government to take drastic steps to address the ongoing health crisis in the country.
In a statement‚ the committee said that despite multiple interventions on the part of the minister of health and the National Department of Health‚ it was of the view that the health system in South Africa remained in crisis.
“The Cabinet’s recent decision to place the North West Health Department under administration of the national government in the wake of the health worker protests and the appointment of the Intervention Task Team in the Gauteng Health Department to advise on a turn-around strategy are indicative of a limping and indeed failing health system‚” the committee said. “The Deans are calling on Government to take drastic steps to address the systemic failures in the provincial health departments as a matter of priority‚” it added.

Posted on Leave a comment
‘n Peperduur hospitaal in Trompsburg in die Vrystaat, wat vier jaar nadat dit voltooi is eers oopgemaak het, word steeds nie ten volle gebruik nie en nog ’n hospitaal in dieselfde provinsie word net as kliniek gebruik.
Die Albert Nzula-hospitaal langs die N1-snelweg is in 2014 teen amper R400 miljoen voltooi, maar het eers verlede jaar sy deure vir pasiënte oopgemaak. Nou blyk dit sleutelposte is steeds nie gevul nie en operasieteaters, wat ten duurste toegerus is, staan in onbruik.
