🚔Call for KZN health MEC Nomagugu Simelane-Zulu to be held accountable for Nehawu strike at hospitals and police questioned for inaction. nehawustrike TheCitizenNews Catch up on the story here⬇️
By Monday morning the situation was at boiling point as participants in the strike disrupted services in most healthcare facilities around the province.
The health department should have been proactive in this case. The manner in which this was handled is appalling to say the least. There should be an inquiry and a detailed report on all the fatalities due to the strike, and heads must roll. There has to be a civil case against all those found to be responsible for the damage and loss of life. I believe there are political undertones in this matter. The [health] department can’t distance itself from this.
Late on Thursday, he said the union and the employer were still holding negotiations in the bargaining council. The employer and employees should be at the table and resolve this in a manner that will not lead to loss of life. Who is to blame for this can be dealt with after this [wage] issue has been resolved.
She said intensive care and high care units, emergency medical services, obstetric wards, accidents and emergency units, orthopaedic wards, casualty, laboratory services, as well as medico-legal mortuaries have been affected.
