Limpopo health MEC Phophi Ramathuba has been reprimanded by the Health Professions Council for shouting at a Zimbabwean patient in a Limpopo provincial hospital in August.
These include respect for people: “healthcare practitioners should respect patients as people, and acknowledge their intrinsic worth, dignity, and sense of value”.
The standards require healthcare practitioners to recognise the human rights of all individuals and to be sensitive to, and empathise with, the individual and social needs of their patients and seek to create mechanisms for providing comfort and support where appropriate and possible. In a video on social media, Ramathuba could be heard telling the patient that migrants were to blame for her department’s stretched budget. Her words sparked a debate in the country, with some in support while others felt she was unfair on the patient.
