Netcare warns legal action may be required to address the critical skiils shortage at hospitals.
South Africa is facing a critical shortage of nurses as private hospitals are restricted from training more caregivers, according to the country’s largest private healthcare network.
This is despite the fact that the country has an estimated shortage of between 26,000 and 62,000 nurses, as well as a large proportion of health workers due to retire by 2030, Richard Friedland, chief executive officer of Netcare, said in an interview Monday. Netcare has the capacity to train more than 3,500 nurses a year, but has only been accredited to take about 10% of that, said Friedland. He said the company is collaborating with the government and other bodies to try and make better use of excess nursing college capacity.
