The Democratic Nursing Organization in Limpopo said it is concerned by people spreading wrongfully information of mismanagement of patients by nurses at Sekororo hospital.

It is alleged that the community member, claiming to be a community leader, caused alarm by phoning into a radio programme to say he was at the hospital where nurses were abusing and mismanaging patients and that nurses were not attending to patients.

DENOSA Provincial Secretary Kwena Manamela said they find this seriously concerning, especially when conflict between nurses and patients is being instigated by people who claim to be community leaders.

Manamela added that they are increasingly worried by the manner in which stories are made up and get supported by the department without proper facts.

“We feel and think that it is very correct that members of the community raise their concerns through correct channels without throwing damaging allegations in the public that paint the profession in a very bad light.” Manamela said.

He concluded by saying that they believe it will be very correct for the department to comment in a manner that will build the moral of the workers and the nurses in particular.
