i Justice against the death of my sister My sister was working at living stone hospital earlier this year, she was working as security officer then only to find out that the working conditions were not in good conditions or not well maintained for them to work, then she was opening the gate as she was working but the gate fall on top of her then she got critical injured and died because she loses lots of blood. But now we can't find a justice against death of our sister as she's was still supporting her children's

I have a family member who is currently a patient at Livingstone Hospital. This family member has a life threatening condition and needs medicall care around the clock for any chance of revovery. Today is the second day that no nursing staff pitched for night shift and the patients are left to their own devices and with no medical care. The entire ward was in darkness after the shift change as there was no staff for the entire night. The dotors at the hospital are excellent, but without supportive medical staff their efforts are and always will be in vain. In this instance as well as a previous admission to the same hospital, nurses are not following the treatment regime prescribed by the doctors and it appears that there is absolutely no compassion for the patients or any sense of responsibility. The patient is severely dehydrated and was supposed to receive 3 iv drips today, but received only one. The patient is experiencing headaches, dizziness, low blood pressure and trouble urinating. How is this acceptable service for any person in need of medical care? The appalling condition of the wards and the hospital in general will have to be rated separately as it will take me all night to list everything. Something needs to be done as many of our provincial hospitals are no longer a place any sick person feels safe to go to.

It is with sincere regret that I write this BUT, I think that ALL TAX PAYERS IN SOUTH AFRICA DESERVES BETTER PROMPT TREATMENT AT OUR GOVERNMENT HOSPITALS AND CLINICS. Well, in PORT ELIZABETH THAT IS NOT THE CASE. 1. LIVINGSTON HOSPITAL - Yesterday 5 patients arriving mainly by ambulance were waiting for an average of 5 hours to see a doctor. Only to be told that they must go because there are no beds available for them in the hospital and the doctors were nowhere to be found!! a) ONE LITTLE GIRL WITH A BURST APPENDIX arrived in an ambulance, screaming from pain for 5 hours (AND AS A MEDICAL PROFESIONAL YOU KNOW THAT THIS CAN CAUSE SERIOUS SEPTICEMIA WHICH MEANS POISONING OF HER ENTIRE BODY AND THIS IS VERY PAINFUL) b) A woman who collapsed at home was rushed to DORA NGINZA HOSPITAL AND SENT AWAY. They were then advised to take her to Dr Njani at one of the clinics handling the overflow of government patients in the area. The dr referred her to the hospital for URGENT BLOOD TESTS and after waiting 5 hours, she too was sent home because of 'NO BEDS AVAILABLE' INSTEAD OF BEING SEEN BY A DOCTOR FIRST, BLOOD TEST DONE AND TO THEN DECIDE WHAT TO DO ABOUT THE SERIOUS HEALTH PROBLEM !!!! c) THEN GOVERNMENT CLINIC IN LINTON GRANGE - PORT ELIZABETH here they have a 'doctor' who had been seeing a lady suffering from a HUGE gallstone, she's been in serious pain for the last 2 years, AND ALL THIS SO CALLED DOCTOR KEEPS TELLING HER IS TO WAIT UNTIL SHE COMES CLOSE TO DEATH BECAUSE OF SERIOUS JAUNDICE WHICH WE ALL KNOW CAN ALSO POISON HER ENTIRE BODY BEFORE THEY CAN HELP HER - TO REMOVE THE INFECTED GALLBLADDER? I sincerely hope that somebody in your department will make an effort to address these issued AS SOON AS POSSIBLE because thousands of people are dying because of staff AND DOCTOR'S NEGLIGENCE AT A LOT OF THESE HOSPITALS AND CLINICS IN PORT ELIZABETH. AND PERHAPS I SHOULD ADD SASOLBURG IN THE FREESTATE PROVINCE TO THIS EMAIL!! MAKES ME WONDER IF THE STAFF ARE REALLY TRAINED AND QUALIFIED TO HELP SICK PEOPLE !!!! AND THIS GOVERNMENT WANTS TO ENFORCE NHI ON US - THEY MUST GO JUMP IN THE NEAREST LAKE OR MOVE TO A NICE BIG DESERT - NO ELECTRICITY & NO WATER WHICH IS ALL THEY CURRENTLY HAVE TO OFFER
