\u2019n MAN, glo tusssen 60 en 70 jaar oud en wie se identiteit nog nie bekend is nie, het verlede Woensdagmiddag gesterf terwyl hy by die hospitaal in Cradock se buitepasi\u00ebnt-afde-ling op behandeling gewag het.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
D\u00edt was die laaste strooi vir \u2019n groot groep mense, waarvan party glo sedert die vorige nag op behandeling gewag het, en chaos het by die hospitaal uitgebreek. Die polisie moes ingeroep word om orde te herstel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Volgens \u2019n vrou wat ook op behandeling gewag het, maar wat nie haar naam genoem wil h\u00ea nie, kon die uiters siek man se gesin nie \u2019n ambulans kry nie en het hulle hom per motor hospital toe gebring. Hy het glo om onge-veer 13:00 ingekom en nie te lank daarna nie het hy gesterf.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Lwandile Sicwetsha, woordvoerder van die Oos-Kaapse departement van gesondheid, het bevestig dat daar net twee dokters op daardie dag aan diens was en dat hulle die hele oggend in die teater met twee keisersnee-operasies besig was. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hy het ook bevestig dat daar \u2019n groot tekort aan dokters by die hospitaal is nadat van hulle bedank het. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Onderhoude met vier nuwe dokters om die vakante poste te vul sou op Dinsdag, 24 Julie plaasgevind het. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Johnie Jacobs, wat by sy vrou met \u2019n hartkwaal in die hospitaal gewaak het, was baie ontsteld dat ernstige gevalle glo nie eerste mediese aandag kry nie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Van die pasi\u00ebnte wat Woensdag in die hospitaal gesit en wag het, was van Hofmeyr en plase in die distrik. Sommige was diabete wat heeldag sonder kos en water was, volgens ge-tuies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Van die pasi\u00ebnte was ook baie ontsteld omdat hulle, voor hulle behandeling ontvang het, na bewering R80 moes betaal om hul l\u00eaers te kry. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWaar moet siek pensioenarisse di\u00e9 tyd van die maand sulke geld kry?\u201d wou \u2019n ontstelde Florence Jacobs weet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Volgens Sicwetsha is die fooi by die hospitaal se buitepasi\u00ebnt-afdeling net R30, maar word \u2019n fooi van R50 ook gehef indien \u2019n pas- -i\u00ebnt direk hospitaal te kom sonder dat hy of sy deur \u2019n kliniek verwys is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sicwetsha het bygevoeg dat die kliniek slegs mense na die hospitaal sal verwys as dit nie vir hulle moontlik is om die pasi\u00ebnt te help nie. \u201cSommige medisyne is egter net by die hospitaal beskikbaar en dan moet hulle dit besoek,\u201d het hy ges\u00ea. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
