Netcare has distanced itself from the views expressed by a prominent Cape Town heart surgeon who advised people in a video that has gone viral against taking Covid-19 vaccines.
Jacques du Plessis, MD of Netcare’s hospital division, on Friday expressed “profound disappointment and disbelief” on learning about Vosloo's video.
Du Plessis said the video also contradicted the views and endeavours of the department of health as well as those of global institutions such as the World Health Organisation. “Nevertheless, we have full regard for the fact that as a medical professional, Dr Vosloo is an independent practitioner and that as an individual she is fully entitled to her own views.”
Netcare has three active vaccination sites, each of which is capable of delivering 5,000 vaccine doses per day, he said.
