KZN MEC plans on beefing-up clinic after residents go on protest.
"We do have a temporary measure, where we are going to request nurses from other areas to come and assist," she said, addressing residents at the clinic.
She said that a permanent solution to the problem would be for the department to advertise posts and urged skilled local community members to apply. "The department has advertised posts, and we call on local professionals to also apply because one of the reasons for the high staff turnover is the fact that people who work here sometimes do not come from the area. So, it becomes too far for them to travel and they struggle with transport," said Simelane-Zulu.
"We requested the organisers of the march not to proceed with it, and rather give us this opportunity to engage. We must appreciate the fact that they listened and we sat down and talked. It was a very fruitful meeting, and we were able to come up with solutions," she added.
