Conditions at hospitals are a threat to the lives of those seeking care
The release this week of the health ombud’s shock report into the harrowing conditions confronting pregnant women and babies at the Rahima Moosa Mother and Child Hospital came as no surprise to anyone who has had the misfortune to rely on public health services in Gauteng.
Read between the lines and it is clear the place is rotten to the core.
There are many reasons why they operate so differently, but one of the most important ones is the fact that Western Cape has maintained a stable management team, while in Gauteng it is rare for a head of department or MEC to last more than a year. Public health systems are phenomenally complex and require leaders with vision and experienced officials capable of crafting and implementing plans: a revolving door at head office undermines all of that.
