Eastern Cape Premier refers death of UDM leader's mother to health ombudsman | GDayimani
Eastern Cape Premier Lubabalo Oscar Mabuyane has escalated UDM leader Nqabayomzi Kwankwa's complaint about negligence by nurses at provincial hospitals - which had allegedly resulted to the death of his aunt - to the health ombudsman for a full investigation. In the Thursday letter to Mabuyane, Kwankwa described how his aunt was rejected by two provincial hospitals - Grey and Bhisho - before she was"left to die" by protesting nurses at SS Gida Hospital in Keiskammahoek on Tuesday.
Kwankwa said in the letter:"As a family we are sad, but we are angry too, as we were sent from pillar to post by what seems to be an incompetent Eastern Cape health care system, which resulted in my aunt paying with her life. The poor level of treatment at Grey Provincial Hospital and Bhisho Provincial Hospital’s refusal to treat my aunt, leaves much to be desired. They dropped the ball and it had fatal consequences.
