My sister from Zimbabwe who has papers to be in South Africa, gave birth yesterday at jubilee hospital and she was forced to pay R7108 before she could be assisted to have the baby at hopital. She only managed to pay R500 and she was told by the nurses if she doesn’t pay the balance they will get her arrested. What I want to find out is when did people start paying to get services at Public Hospital. I have the receipts they gave her and debtors receipt with no hospital stamp, no contact details. Where is this money going to. This is the second incident. In December I myself was admitted at jubilee for over 10 hours with a dead baby in my tummy was sleeping in a room where there was needles and cleaning materials, how poor can the service there be. Minister of health need to do something I already sent these to times live news and Pretoria news we need answers and which regulations states paying of such amounts?
