The congress of the people has
called upon the MEC of Health Dr Motsoeledi to appoint an independent
investigation into infection control at Bongani Hospital, this comes after the
death of five babies at the Free State hospital.
The five babies died of
Klebsiella infection which refers to several types of infections caused by the
Klebsiella bacteria, including pneumonia, bloodstream infections and
meningitis.
COPE spokesperson Dennis bloem
said “this usually happens when a hospital fails to implement strict infection
control measures and we therefore are calling on the health MEC to investigate
before it is too late.”
