(1) (a) The Hospital and provincial department of Health could not test the allegations as the complainant declined a redress meeting.
(b) (i) PN Mpho Lebese
(ii) Dr SM Kalasa
(c) No action was implemented against the staff since the allegations could not be confirmed.
(d) The body of the baby was procedurally handed over by the hospital to the Far East Funeral Undertakers. The hospital can therefore not comment on how it “landed up” in Springs. Far East Funeral Undertakers is located in Actonville, Benoni. The parent’s residential address, as provided by her is 697 Rawat Street, Actonville.
(2) Whether there is NHI or not, there should be no horrific treatment of patients in any healthcare system.
END.
