STEVE BIKO'S DETERIORATED SERVICE WHICH ENDANGERS LIVES!!
Good people, what happened to our beloved hospital? Everything has changed for the worse with foreign doctors everywhere who don't know what they are doing. One wonders if they are even qualified or they bought qualifications. How I wish that all doctors there should be vetted urgently because people are dying like flies.

*****ulent Job Offer and Payment Demand
Good afternoon. I would like to report an individual named Edwin who claims to be employed at Steve Biko Academic Hospital. Yesterday, I app**** for an Office Administration position that I found online. A few hours later, I received a call inviting me for an interview today. However, I was told that I needed to pay a fee to secure the job, which I did, paying R1,500. When I arrived at the hospital this morning, I was informed that no such position exists and that there is no employee by that name. I was also told that I am not the first person to come looking for him. My concern is that if the hospital is aware of this ongoing ****, why no action has been taken, especially since this individual is using the hospital’s name and information to de***** people. I am requesting that the Department of Health urgently investigate this matter.

Unacceptable BP measuring practices
Has some really excellent medical staff. Food is great, beds are great... BUT SOME of the less educated Auxi****y Nurses have ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA HOW TO. TAKE.. BLOOD PRESSURE. BECAUSE THE CUFF IS TOO SMALL THEY MEASURE ON MY WRIST AND FOREARM AND ANKLE... and get very Inaccurate readings. Even after my Dr and UM addressed them to bring the bigger cuff they continued with small cuff Now my reading with small cuff was 181/110 and I complained and so they fetched a bigger cuff and it measured 126/ 104... 104 at bottom is not normal but was because I was so angry and upset

Disappointed/Poor Service
Hi it's now been 2 months and I haven't received any feedback regarding the operation that I must go for, the doctor that told me that he's gonna put my name on the list told me that I only have to wait 2-3 weeks and then they will call me to come for the operation, I'm very disappointed in this hospital.

Dissatisfied
I went to the doctor in September this year and the doctor told me that I need to go for the operation. The doctor told me that for the operation I'm gonna have to wait 2-3 weeks because there is other people before me. This is now more than 3weeks and no one has called me for any news.

Worst Care from the Nursing and Doctor Staff
I wish I could give 0 stars. I am currently a patient in Steve Biko. I am 9 months pregnant and coloured. The colour of my skin is stopping me from getting any care. They don't provide me with food or water. I've had to get that from the outside. The nurses laugh and talk about me in Tshwana. I haven't been able to shower. I've been here since Saturday. No plans on when I will be taken to the labour ward. I have lodged 3 or 4 complaints with no feedback. I asked to be discharged to go to another hospital and they are refusing.
