Newsletter| Limpopo health MEC Phophi Ramathuba says she does not regret appointing “young and energetic individuals” to senior positions. This comes after she was accused of currying favour with union bosses by appointing “inexperienced” individuals
In fact she says the province’s health sector has drastically improved thanks to the appointment of “energetic and ambitious” individuals who have resuscitated its ailing heathcare system.
“What is more worrying is that during our tenure in senior management at the hospital we did not receive any assistance from the MEC’s office. “I vehemently protested against the requisite 10-year experience that was previously required for clinical managers and negotiated at the bargaining council that it be reduced to three years, which was eventually agreed upon.
“The main problem is that when one has run their own practice, having their own surgery for years, there is an immediate assumption that they have experience in management. “The issue with healthcare is that mismanagement and indifference leads to patients losing their lives hence the need for immediate and decisive actions which is what I have been doing in the province.
