The Democratic Alliance has raised its concerns
over the shortage of back-up generators at hospitals countrywide.
This follows Minister of Health Dr Aaron Motsoaledi
admitting to a parliamentary question that nine generators have not been
installed at hospitals and clinics in the Western Cape.
DA MP of Health Wilmot James said we have a problem
in a significant number of our provinces in particular Mpumalanga, Free State
and Gauteng and the Eastern Cape.
“Therefore I have asked for a meeting with the
minister to discuss this matter with him, to make sure that our hospitals are electricity
secured because we cannot have a health facility especially the surgery and we
have other emergency needs and basic equipment that has to be supplied all
times with energy” James added.
