Bronkhorstspruit Hospital is one of the health facilities that have been struggling with testing kits for Covid-19.
Mathibela said patients will now wait for 24 hours before they can get their results. “This will not only benefit us, but also other health facilities can refer patients to us for testing. They also donated PPE for the frontline workers, who can now do their job freely as they are well protected,” Mathibela said.
BRM’s CEO Ndavhe Mareda said they operate in Bronkhorstspruit area where surrounding community members, including their employees get services at the hospital. “In order to fight the virus we need to know how many people are affected. This will make it easier for the hospital to do their tests. When one walks inside the sanitising booth, it can immediately detect if there is a problem. It turns green if the person is fine and it turns red if your body temperature warrants for further examinations,” Mareda said.
Mareda said unemployment rate is also very high at Bronkhorstspruit area which is why they also donated food parcels. “The food parcels are meant for people who are placed on self-isolation. We understand that most of these people are unemployed and will have no one to look after them, hence we have asked the hospital to step in, in this regard,” he said.
