The Democratic Nursing Organization of
South Africa has applauded and has given it support to the KwaZulu Natal
provincial department of Health for deciding to take over McCord hospital.
Denosa’s KZN secretary Cassim Lekhoathi said the move to take over the hospital is in the best interest of serving people and ensuring access to quality care is released.
Lekhoathi adds that they pledge their support to
government and commit to ensure that the patients continue to receive the best
care at the hospital.
Lekhoathi said they are especially humbled by
the fact that the hospital will now be a public hospital, which will ensure
that more needy patients will now be treated at the hospital.
This supports the noble idea of the
universal access to health care, as they have pleaded before they are happy that
there are talks between the provincial government and the management of the
hospital, were indeed informed by the intent to fight the burden of disease and
care for the sick and vulnerable, Lekhoathi added.
