‘Horrifying Cruelty By The ANC – South Africans endure pain, suffering and neglect at Robert Sobukwe Hospital

‘Horrifying Cruelty By The ANC; Onlookers Shocked in Ward 31 This Morning’

South Africans endure pain, suffering and neglect at Robert Sobukwe Hospital, Kimberley last night and this morning. This photo shows the sick and injured who are forced to lie on cold floors. Many cry in anguish and discomfort, and embarrassment. Their frustration is evident, some wail in pain and frustration, others beg desperately for help from hospital workers, to no avail.

If you are sick or injured, don’t come to Robert Sobukwe Hospital, ANC Ward 31, unless you plan to leave you dignity at the door.

“Why has our government forgotten us?” cries a young teenage girl. She holds the hand of her grandmother who looks extremely weak. I looked into her grandmother’s eyes and saw no emotion, her tears have dried in salty streaks down her cheeks, disappearing under her wrinkled chin, the smell of urine comes from her chair. Her suffering is wrapped with a bow with kind regards from our

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.

Noord-Kaapse departement van gesondheid staar Miljoene rande se eise in gesig vir nalatigheid by 3 geboortes

Posted on Leave a comment

Die Noord-Kaapse departement van gesondheid kan hom regmaak vir eise van R60 miljoen vir skadevergoeding nadat hy mediese nalatigheid by die geboorte van drie babas erken het.

Die bedrae wat geëis word, moet nog in verdere verhore bewys word.

Dit volg op drie siviele gedinge wat die afgelope drie weke in die hooggeregshof in Kimberley teen die LUR van gesondheid ingedien is.

Die babas wat weens nalatigheid gestremd is, benodig heeltydse versorging en terapie. Geld moet ook vir hul toekomstige mediese behoeftes opsy gesit word.

Hul ouers moet onder meer ook sielkundige berading kry.

Die eise vir die babas beloop elk tussen R18 miljoen en R20 miljoen, en vir die ouers sowat R1,1 miljoen elk.

Die eis van ’n vrou wat heeltydse gesondheidsprobleme weens die bevalling ontwikkel het, beloop R1,8 miljoen.

Die mediese personeel in die drie gevalle word daarvan beskuldig dat hulle nie deurentyd die pasiënte en hul ongebore babas gemonitor en betyds regst

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
