Staatshospitaal in Koster, Noordwes in wanorde; skoonmaker voer pasiënte
Posted on Leave a comment
Die staatshospitaal in Koster, Noordwes, is vervalle, onhigiënies en net ses lyke kan in die lykshuis geberg word.
Dit is volgens Cobus Snyman, DA-raadslid in die Kgetlengrivier-munisipaliteit wat die gebied bedien, die toestande wat die party op ’n onlangse besoek aan die hospitaal aangetref het.
Tebogo Lekgethwane, woordvoerder van Noordwes se gesondheidsdepartement, erken die lykshuis se bergplek is heeltemal onvoldoende. Hy sê die aantal onopgeëiste lyke neem toe en dit is ’n tydrowende proses om te hanteer. Nog ’n eenheid word by die forensiese lykshuis gevestig, waar onopgeëiste lyke na verwagting van November gehou sal kan word.
Snyman sê met die DA se besoek aan die hospitaal het die dak in sommige sale gelek en die plafon het plek-plek ingeval.
“Mense stap in en uit die hospitaal sonder dat hulle deursoek word vir wapens en daar is geen veiligheidstelsel in die kraam- en kindersale nie.”
Die 26 geregistreerde verpleegsters is ook

Omstrede psigiatriese hospitaal in Kimberley wat belastingbetaler R2 miljard gekos het, steeds in onbruik
Posted on Leave a comment
Meer as 12 jaar nadat bouwerk aan Kimberley se omstrede psigiatriese hospitaal begin het en nadat meer as R2 miljard reeds aan die projek bestee is, staan die hospitaal steeds leeg en ongebruik.
Andrew Louw, die DA se provinsiale leier en premierskandidaat in die Noord-Kaap, het Woensdag op Wêreldgeestesgesondheidsdag die terrein saam met ’n DA-span besoek. Hy is deur onder andere Makashule Gana, DA-LP en DA-woordvoerder vir basiese dienste, en Harold McGluwa, die DA se provinsiale voorsitter in die Noord-Kaap en hoofsweep in die provinsiale koukus, vergesel.
Die gebou het met die besoek leeg gestaan en daar was geen pasiënte, dokters of verpleegsters in sig nie, slegs bouwerkers en veiligheidswagte. Die tuin het onversorg voorgekom en onkruid groei welig in die beddings.
Die DA het glo vroeër versoek dat dr. Dion Thys, hoof van die Noord-Kaapse gesondheidsdepartement, die oorsigbesoek meemaak, maar hy het nie opgedaag nie.

Staatsklinieke op Upington se krag in snikhete afgesny weens wanbetaling, medisyne moet dringend verskuif word
Posted on Leave a comment
Medisyne in staatsklinieke op Upington wat glo na koeler bergplekke verskuif moes word omdat hul krag in die snikhete afgesny is, mors geld en lei tot swak dienslewering.
Só sê Andrew Louw, Noord-Kaapse DA-leier, wat aan Fufe Makatong, die LUR vir gesondheid, geskryf het om te versoek dat die departement sy elektrisiteitsrekeninge betyds betaal.
“Die departement het uitstaande skuld by die Dawid Kruiper-munisipaliteit. Die kragtoevoer is dus op 1 Oktober in die Paballelo- en Straussburg-klinieke afgeskakel.
“Die gevolg was dat immuniteitsmedikasie ter waarde van R140 000 na ’n ander koeler plek met elektrisiteit verskuif moes word.
“Dit beteken die suster moet op eie koste na die bergplek ry om die medisyne te gaan haal. Dit neem baie tyd in beslag en mense moet in lang rye wag.
“Dit kan onuithoudbaar in temperature tussen 31 °C en 38 °C word. Klinieke kan nie sonder elektrisiteit funksioneer nie. Dit is ondenkbaar dat diagnoses in die donk
