The Democratic Nursing Organisation of South Africa has hit back at the Eastern Cape Department of Health, after it claimed that the report that was released last week about the challenges in the health sector was distorted.
Denosa Eastern Cape Secretary
Koliswa Tota said the challenges in the report are issues that nurses have to
work under including shortage of medication and equipment.
Tota said for the past three years
the department of health in the province has not been employing nurses so
therefore that is why there is a shortage.
“The conditions nurses have to work
under in clinics and hospitals in the Eastern
Cape are bad and the department is aware of
these conditions but have not done anything to solve the problems” Tota added.
