KIMBERLEY<\/strong> – Noudat die premier van die Noord-Kaap, dr. Zamani Saul, toegegee het dat die stand van die Kimberley Geestesgesondheidshospitaal \u2018n \u201cverleentheid\u201d is, sal die DA in die provinsie voortgaan om die provinsiale administrasie verantwoordbaar te hou sodat elke inwoner toegang tot mediese sorg van goeie gehalte het.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dr. Isak Fritz, LPW en die DA se provinsiale woordvoerder oor gesondheid, s\u00ea hy het die premier tydens ‘n vraesessie op 25 September in die Noord-Kaapse Provinsiale Wetgewer uitgevra oor sy planne en voornemens om gesondheidsorg in die provinsie reg te ruk. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fritz s\u00ea teen Julie vanjaar het die Noord-Kaapse gesondheidsdepartement \u2018n algehele vakaturekoers van 22% gehad. Slegs 33% van die poste beskikbaar in die gemeenskapsdiensprogram was gevul. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Hierdie akute personeeltekorte bring mee dat mediese fasiliteite gedurig onderbeman is en die meeste fasiliteite kan eenvoudig nie voldoende dienste aan \u2018n toestroming van pasi\u00ebnte lewer nie.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vir die rede verwelkom die party die verbintenis dat bykomende hulpbronne vir die gesondheidsektor beskikbaar gestel sal word, met die nasionale regering wat \u2018n ekstra R161 miljoen vir di\u00e9 sektor belowe het. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Ons sal die finansi\u00eble bestuur fyn nagaan om toe te sien dat die geld vir die regte doeleindes aangewend word. Dit is nie net chroniese onderbefondsing wat die departement se probleme veroorsaak nie, maar ook die misbruik en wanbestuur van beskikbaar bronne,” s\u00ea Fritz. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Teen Junie het die departement byvoorbeeld met 3\u00a0763 rekeninge van meer as R812 miljoen gesit wat nie binne die voorgeskrewe 30 dae betaal is nie. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Wanneer rekeninge nie betyds betaal word nie, moet die departement meer aan boetes bestee. Dis doodeenvoudig onbekostigbaar. Die DA sal voortgaan om die meganismes tot ons beskikking te gebruik om toegang tot gesondheidsorg van goeie gehalte vir elke Noord-Kapenaar te bewerkstellig.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hospitaal in omstredenheid gehul<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Di\u00e9 Noord-Kaapse Geestesgesondheidshospitaal is sedert sy aanbouing nagenoeg 20 jaar gelede in omstredenheid gehul. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Enkele maande gelede het die gesondheidsombudsman, prof. Taole Mokoena, in samewerking met die Menseregtekommissie (MRK), ‘n verdoemende ondersoekverslag bekendgestel. Makoena het bevind die oorsaak van twee psigiatriese pasi\u00ebnte se dood was weens wanbestuur, gebrek aan aanspreeklikheid en swak stelsels by die Noord-Kaapse Geestesgesondheidshospitaal en die Robert Mangaliso Sobukwe-hospitaal, ook in Kimberley.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sedert die hospitaal se aanbouing is talle persone in hegtenis geneem en is hofsake aanhangig gemaak. Die bou van die hospitaal sou in 2005 begin, met ‘n aanvanklike begroting van R297 miljoen. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Die eerste kontrakteur wat aangestel is, sou die hoofgebouekompleks van 336 000 vierkante meter binne 24 maande voltooi. Weens swak vakmanskap, die sloping van sommige strukture vir hersteldoeleindes en die verandering van kontrakteurs, het die begroting tot meer as ‘n miljard rand gestyg. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bedrog, korrupsie, geldwassery, wanadministrasie en wanbestuur het deur die jare sinoniem met di\u00e9 massiewe kompleks aan die buitewyke van Kimberley geword. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Die amptelike opening van die hospitaal het op 30 September 2019 plaasgevind. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hiertydens het Saul ges\u00ea: \u201dIt was a long and winding road full of pitfalls characterised by huge wastages of state resources. We commit that such will never be repeated in the Northern Cape. The facility cost R1.3 billion to complete but it has emerged as a truly remarkable and state-of-the-art healthcare facility, a symbol of transformation and must be a Centre of Excellence.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vandag, ses jaar later, vind konstruksiewerk steeds daar plaas, en het die stof oor di\u00e9 hospitaal se omstredenheid nog nie gaan l\u00ea nie. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It has a long-standing history of serving the community with news and information pertinent to the region. The newspaper, distributed in the capital and more than 20 towns, is also read online in other parts of the vast province, and has been an important source of information for residents of the Northern Cape. The publication is geared towards Afrikaans and English-speaking readers, with the content reflecting the cultural diversity of the province. Like the other regional newspapers in South Africa, NoordkaapBulletin has had to adapt to changing media landscapes, including the rise of digital news platforms.
