#CoronoVirus Officially in Africa As Nigeria & Algeria Confirm Cases While South Africa Plans Return of 132 Students From Wuhan in Hubei Province, China!

Posted on Leave a comment

Most would agree that it is almost certain the #CoronaVirus is already in Africa, as the ability is just not there to detect it, but now Algeria and Nigeria have officially confirmed cases of infection. There are 199 South African citizens, mostly students, in Wuhan City and 132 of them have asked to be repatriated back to SA. As they’ve been living under lockdown conditions since the outbreak of the coronavirus a few weeks back, Ramaphosa can rest easy that it is a fairly safe endeavor for his troubled reputation. Dr. Anban Pillay – Director General at the Department of Health stated 3 weeks ago that if anyone was infected they would not be repatriated.

Only two days after Algeria had reported its first confirmed case of the new coronavirus, an Italian man who arrived in Algeria on February. 17 and had been put into isolation, Dr Osagie Ehanire from The Federal Ministry of Health in Nigeria confirmed the coronavirus (Covid-19) case in Lagos State Nigeria via his Twitter.

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.
