Sowat 130 nieregeringsorganisasies (NRO’s) is Donderdag weer in die steek gelaat deur die Gautengse gesondheidsdepartement. Die NRO’s, wat almal omsien na verstandelik gestremde private pasiënte in Gauteng, is belowe dat hulle op 10 Mei hul subsidies vir April sal kry.

Mahikeng Provincial Hospital – Ill patient ignored and sent home in a wheelbarrow

Posted on Leave a comment

The corridors of the Mahikeng Provincial Hospital ring hollowly. There is no staff in sight, except for two security guards patrolling each ward entrance. Inside one of the wards, the powder-blue walls are littered with notices apologising to patients about the interruption of health services.

Geen oortydbetaling vir dokters in Gauteng

Die departement van gesondheid in Gauteng moet dringend verduidelik waarom dokters nie oortydbetaling ontvang nie en dit so vinnig as moontlik regstel, het die Demokratiese Alliansie Sondag gesê.

Talle dokters by Gauteng-staatshospital word nie vir oortydwerk betaal nie en het gehoor dat die departement “nie geld het om hulle te betaal nie”, het Jack Bloom, woordvoerder vir die DA, gesê. “Ek het berigte ontvang dat dokters by Tembisa, Leratong en Yusuf Dadoo-hospitale, en moontlik ook by ander hospitale, nie oortydbetaling ontvang nie,” het hy verduidelik.
