Nuut gekwalifiseerde verpleërs wat die Gautengse departement van gesondheid weens ’n geldtekort nie van plan was om aan te stel nie, gaan nou wel aangestel word

Posted on Leave a comment

Dié aankondiging is gedoen ’n week nadat die departement gesê het hy gaan nie vanjaar 216 van sy pas gekwalifiseerde verpleërs aanstel nie.

Lesemang Matuka, woordvoerder van die departement, sê hoewel die departement die verpleërs moet aanstel nadat hy die koste van hul studie die afgelope vier jaar gedra het, verhinder die begrotingstekort hom soms om hulle aan te stel.

Matuka sê staatshospitale is opdrag gegee dat die verpleërs in vakante en gefinansierde poste aangestel moet word.

Die ander opsie om die betrokke verpleërs aan te moedig om aansoek te doen om poste in die privaat sektor.

Jack Bloom, DA-woordvoerder oor gesondheid in Gauteng, sê hy verwelkom die departement se besluit, maar hoop dat dit vir al die verpleërs sal geld en dat niemand sonder werk sal sit nie.

Hy sê die departement het ’n databasis van al dié verpleërs en hulle sal gekontak word sodra daar vakante poste is en hulle nog nie in die privaat sektor aangestel is n

Lyke in die gange, vlieë, bloed op die vloer en ’n oorweldigende stank is die gevolg van ’n sloerstaking by die Germiston-lykshuis in Gauteng

Posted on Leave a comment

Buite die lykshuis drom desperate groepies familielede saam om te wag vir ’n geliefde se lyk. Sodra die wind draai, tref die stank jou.

’n Man, wat anoniem wil bly, vertel sy broer is Maandag doodgeskiet in Vosloorus en hy het gekom om hom te kom haal. “Ons hoor by die ander families hier daar is lyke wat al twee weke hier binne lê.

“Wat nou gebeur, is jy moet die werkers omkoop om seker te maak jóú geliefde se lyk is volgende . . .”

Twee verskillende begrafnisondernemers, wat om professionele redes en hul gereelde kontak met dié lykshuis ook nie geïdentifiseer wil word nie, vertel aan Rapport die fasiliteit is chaoties.

Een staan saam met ’n pa in rou wat sy dogter se lyk ná twee weke kom haal, en vertel hy wéét as hy nou ingaan, sal sy al “groen” wees.

’n Ander ondernemer sê die werkers “gee eenvoudig nie om nie’’.

Werkers eis glo hoër lone en kla oor ’n tekort aan beskermende drag.

Dr. Paul Morule, uitvoerende

SA gewaarsku oor dodelike longpes

Posted on Leave a comment

Die dodelike longpes wat in Madagaskar uitgebreek het, eis al hoe meer slagoffers met die dodetal wat nou al gestyg het tot 48 – en die Suid-Afrikaanse owerhede is gewaarsku om hier gereed te wees vir enige uitbreking.

Die Wêreldgesondheidsorganisasie (WGO) sê 449 gevalle van longpes is reeds in Madagaskar bevestig.

Die WGO waarsku daar heers kommer op internasionale vlak daaroor nadat ’n Suid-Afrikaanse basketbalspeler wat ’n klubkampioenskapsreeks bygewoon het, ook aangesteek is. Die speler is in Madagaskar suksesvol behandel en het volgens die WGO na Suid-Afrika teruggekeer. Hy en sy spanmaats word gemonitor.

Daar is geen reisverbod na of van Madagaskar nie.

Die nasionale departement van gesondheid het verskeie maatreëls ingestel, soos om lugrederye te waarsku om op die uitkyk te wees vir siek mense op vlugte.

Amptenare by Suid-Afrikaanse hawens is gevra om hul prosesse op te skerp om mense wat in die land aankom, behoorlik te ondersoek.

Kundiges in gesondheidsbedryf krap kop oor toename in hospitalisasie

Posted on Leave a comment

Kundiges in die gesondheidsbedryf het op die jaarlikse konferensie van die Hospitaalvereniging van Suid-Afrika (Hasa) in Kaapstad hewig van mekaar verskil oor wat die redes vir ‘n skerp toename in die koste van mediese skemas is.

Matthew Prior, hoof van gesondheidsbeleid van Life Healtcare, sê ’n toename in benutting van gesondheidsdienste word die afgelope jare as die hoofoorsaak beskou vir hoë mediese inflasie. Hy sê die premieverhogings wat mediese skemas van hul lede eis, is die werklike maatstaf van mediese inflasie vir verbruikers.

Prior het die debat gelei oor die redes vir die toename in die benutting.

Navorsing deur Medscheme, die administrateur van mediese skemas, toon daar is ’n verband tussen ’n toename in hospitaalbeddens en die skerp styging in hospitalisasie wat verlede jaar ervaar is, sê dr. Jenni Noble, hoofbestuurder van Medscheme.

Die mededingingsowerhede se paneel wat die markondersoek na die gesondheidsbedryf doen, het in 2016

Mpumalanga woman claims nurses left her to deliver her own baby

Posted on Leave a comment

The Mpumalanga department of health has dismissed allegations that a 31-year-old woman was left alone to deliver her own baby at a local hospital.

Ester Mnisi claims that nursing staff at Mapulaneng Hospital in Bushbuckridge ignored her pleas for help on Sunday, September 17, when she went into labour.

“It was on Sunday, around six in the morning, when I arrived at the hospital with my family as my water broke.

“We greeted the nurses, but they just kept quiet until we asked why. Their response was that they were tired and had been delivering too many babies on that day.

“They said they were about to wrap up for the seven o’clock shift and that we should wait our turn,” Mnisi said.

The Mpumalanga woman said she could feel the baby coming, but when she told the nurses this, they sent her off to a room.

“I started screaming and begged for them to help me deliver the baby. They dismissed me and said my time to deliver was still far and they left and slamm

Motsoaledi has ‘zero authority’ to help ailing hospitals

Posted on Leave a comment

Cape Town – Health Minister Aaron Motsoaledi says he has “zero authority” to improve the functioning of troubled state hospitals, which are all managed by provincial governments.

Motsoaledi told the portfolio committee on health on Thursday that a two-year ministerial task team report highlighted 19 key problems at hospitals in six provinces around the country.

The task team spent two years visiting the 25 hospitals, most of which were struggling with staffing issues, budget problems, high-level vacancies and poor service conditions.

The minister said all 19 findings fell broadly into four categories, none of which were in his control.

“My conclusion is that a minister in health has a huge responsibility, but zero authority where it matters the most,” he lamented.

“Such authority is with the MECs of both finance and health, their premiers and executive councils.”

The areas in which these hospitals are falling short include human resources, procurement

Wes-Kaapse Departement van Gesondheid en Openbare werke beoog om uiteindelik nuwe staatslykhuis te bou na jare se uitstel

Posted on Leave a comment

Bouwerk het begin om die grootste staatslykhuis in die Wes-Kaap – wat 3 800 lykskouings per jaar doen – te vervang. Dit volg ná jare se beplanning en uitstel.

Die Wes-Kaapse departemente van gesondheid en openbare werke het pas aangekondig daar is begin met die projek van R281 miljoen. Dit sal 23 maande neem om die nuwe Observatory Forensiese Patologie-instituut te bou.

Die ou staatslykshuis in Soutrivier wat al sedert die 1950’s in gebruik is, sal nie meer bestaan nie.

Die nuwe gebou grens aan Hoofweg in Observatory en is langs die Kaapstadse Wetenskapsentrum geleë.

Die ou fasade van die oorspronklike gebou, die Pepsi Cola-fabriek, word om geskiedkundige redes behou en die res word nuut gebou.

Die gebou sal uit drie verdiepings bestaan, met 26 lykskouingtafels en vier areas vir disseksie sowel as areas vir opleiding.

Forensiese patoloë wat deels verbind is aan die Universiteit van Kaapstad en deels aan die departement van gesondheid doen lyk

Noord-Kaapse LUR van gesondheid moet opdok vir bejaarde se onderbeen

Posted on Leave a comment

Die Noord-Kaapse LUR van gesondheid is Woensdag in die hooggeregshof in Kimberley beveel om die mediese en regskoste te betaal van ’n bejaarde man wat sy onderbeen weens mediese nalatigheid verloor het.

Regter Mpho Mamosebo het in haar uitspraak gesê dit ontstem haar dat ’n kundige soos dr. Qebelo Maseme, wat vir die LUR getuig het, partydig is. Sy het sy getuienis verwerp.

Patrick Erasmus (nou 76) se linkerbeen is in 2013 bokant die knie afgesit nadat hy aanvanklik vir ’n groottoon met infeksie behandel is.

Sy probleme het begin toe hy op 13 November 2012 vir ’n opvolgbesoek by ’n private dokter was.

Die dokter, wat intussen ’n skikking met Erasmus buite die hof bereik het, het ’n rekkie om die toon gebind om die toonnael te verwyder. Die toon is toegebind.

Twee besoeke later het die dokter Erasmus ingelig dat hy gangreen in die toon het en hom na die staatshospitaal in Kimberley verwys.

’n Senior dokter daar het op 20 November verde

Oscar ‘doing well’ after night in hospital

Posted on Leave a comment

Oscar is doing well under the circumstances, his father Henke Pistorius says.

The Paralympic athlete was kept in Kalafong Hospital in Atteridgeville, Pretoria overnight for observation after experiencing chest pains on Thursday morning.

“He has been discharged and is back in the facility,” Logan Maistry, spokesperson for the department of correctional services, told AFP.

Henke told YOU Oscar had previously had “bad colds” and it was not clear whether this was a reason for the severe pains in his chest.

Several tests have been performed on Oscar since Thursday and “all the tests were negative”, said Henke.

The 30-year-old is serving a six-year prison sentence for the murder of his model girlfriend, Reeva Steenkamp, in February 2013.

Oscar has been behind bars for the murder of Reeva Steenkamp, since July 6 last year. He argued that he thought she was an intruder.

He was transferred from the Kgosi Mampuru II prison to the Atteridgeville priso

Let’s have a look at 5 things you shouldn’t do to heal a wound

Posted on Leave a comment

From applying wine and beer to a scratch to using ants to bite and seal a cut – humans have tried almost anything to accelerate the healing of wounds over the centuries.

We’ve come a long way since then, but we still don’t always get it right when it comes to caring for our wounds.

Most people still have a scar somewhere from a childhood fall or a soccer match gone wild, but the right treatment could have accelerated healing by up to 50% and reduced the risk of scarring, says Dr. Rainer Wolber from Beiersdorf AG’s Research & Development Centre.

Vrystaatse provinsiale departement het nie geld vir afgestudeerde verpleegsters

Posted on Leave a comment

Verpleegsters wat verlede jaar hul graad- en diplomakursusse voltooi het, sit hande in die hare omdat die Vrystaatse provinsiale departement hulle nie aanstel nie.

Dié verpleegsters is verplig om ’n jaar lank gemeenskapsdiens te verrig voordat hulle ten volle kan kwalifiseer.

Mariette Pittaway, ’n DA-lid van die Vrystaatse wetgewer, sê sy het al in Februarie vanjaar ’n brief aan die LUR vir gesondheid, Butana Komphela, gerig oor die probleem.

In Februarie het die departement gesê hy het nie geld om die mense aan te stel nie, maar ’n versoek dat die verpleegsters vrygestel word van die verpligte jaarlange gemeenskapsdiens is geweier.

Al die beskikbare poste moes aan verpleegsters van die Free State School of Nursing gaan omdat dié verpleegsters hul beurse moet terugbetaal.

Pittaway sê as die Vrystaatse departement die verpleegsters vrystel, kan hulle in een van die ander provinsies die verpligte jaar gemeenskapswerk gaan doen en kwalifiseer.
