\u2019n Bejaarde vrou wat in die Dr. Harry Surtie-hospitaal in Upington opgeneem is nadat sy geval het en beseer is, beweer sy is op Donderdagaand 1 Februarie langer as drie uur in die hospitaal met \u2019n vuil doek gelaat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die vrou, wat nie haar naam genoem wil h\u00ea nie, s\u00ea die susters het ges\u00ea hulle sal n\u00e1 teetyd na haar omsien, maar dit was glo eers meer as drie uur later dat hulle haar gehelp het. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die verpleegsusters ontken dat hulle die vrou langer as drie uur sonder hulp gelaat het. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nog \u2019n inwoner van Upington s\u00ea haar ouma was verlede jaar in di\u00e9 hospitaal en is ook ure lank met \u2019n vuil doek gelos. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die vrou s\u00ea toe hulle met besoektyd haar ouma die eerste keer sien, was haar lippe vaal van die dors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHaar doek was nie omgeruil nie. Niks is gedoen nie. Dit is toe dat ons besluit het ons los haar nie weer alleen nie. My ma en my tannie het 24 uur by haar gewaak en haar versorg.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Samantha Greeff s\u00ea haar dogter is \u2019n jaar gelede in die hospitaal dood. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cEk het gesien sy moet \u2019n skandering ondergaan, maar hulle het haar liewer onder verdowing gehou. Toe ek haar besoek, het ek haar gevind waar sy aan die bed vasgemaak was.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Greeff s\u00ea sy was die volgende dag nog op pad om vir haar dogter kos en skoon slaapklere te neem, toe sy \u2019n oproep van die hospitaal ontvang om te s\u00ea haar dogter is dood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Intussen het dit aan die lig gekom dat die hospitaal nie oor basiese loophulpmiddele soos krukke en looprame beskik nie, en dat pasi\u00ebnte wat dit benodig daarsonder ontslaan word. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hennie Roux, VF Plus-raadslid van die Dawid Kruiper-munisipaliteit, het die hospitaal n\u00e1 vele klagtes besoek en die ontdekking gemaak.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Volgens \u2019n ingeligte bron is daar al in Mei verlede jaar gevra dat voorraad vir loophulpmiddels verkry moet word, maar dit is glo steeds nie gedoen nie. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dr. Wynand Boshoff, Noord-Kaapse leier van di\u00e9 party, s\u00ea die beloftes wat tydens die hospitaal se opening in 2014 gemaak is, staan in skrille kontras met die werklikheid. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hy s\u00ea die ou Gordonia-hospitaal in Upington, asook die hospitale in De Aar en Kuruman, sou n\u00e1 2014 elk \u2019n satellietkampus van die Henri\u00ebtta Stockdale-verplegingskollege in Kimberley huisves. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2019n Dekade later is daar geen teken hiervan nie. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die Noord-Kaapse departement van gesondheid het nog nie op \u2019n medianavraag oor die bejaarde vrou se versorging of die beweerde tekort aan loophulpmiddels reageer nie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
