After being swamped with reports from the public about inhumane and near collapse of services at different health facilities, Clinics and Day Hospitals in the townships and the Cape Flats.
Western Cape Health Minister Marius Fransman has decided to embark on a visit to state health institutions tomorrow to find out exactly what needs to be improved.
Health MEC spokesperson Eric Ntabazalila says Minister Fransman will be accompanied by a delegation of officials, trade union representatives, Members of the Provincial Legislature and representatives of local Health Forums.
The Minister will begin his visit in the Mitchells Plain Health Care Facility. The Western Cape Department of Health committed itself to provide an accessible, affordable, reliable and dignified health service to the 3, 9 million uninsured people in the province.
The department says this commitment can only be recognised if the facilities and staff perform optimally.
