Corona virus spreads dramatically – How long before it reaches South Africa and will the ANC regime be able to curb it ?

Posted on March 16, 2020 Leave a comment

The dreaded new Corona virus is spreading at a tremendous pace and has already killed more than 100 cases, with more than 4,500 reported cases of infection.

The Chinese’s desperate efforts at dozens of measures to curb the spread of the virus are seen as a futile exercise by scientists.

According to a panel of scientists, it is projected that the cases that already have an infection are closer to 45,000, and that the infections double every week.

The government has closed ten cities to prevent back and forth, and two hospitals, each with 1,000 beds, have been set up to accommodate the patients who are flowing to hospitals.

Allegations are being made that the Communist government of China will not disclose the real state of affairs in order to protect the image and business confidence.

Several countries, including the US and Japan, have already sent airplanes to get their citizens out of China before severe conditions hit the people.

10 Babies die at Tembisa Hospital, Gauteng due to outbreak of antibiotic resistant bacteria – deaths could have been avoided if there was sustainable hygiene and sufficient staff

Posted on March 16, 2020 Leave a comment

The SA Human Rights Commission says the Tembisa Hospital in Gauteng urgently needs more staff after another 10 babies have died in the institution.

The babies born in the hospital have died in recent weeks, and although numerous reasons have been stated, the hospital is held responsible for the death of all the babies.

The allegations are that insects are causing the death of another 10 babies, which are believed to be present due to poor hygiene in the building.

The outbreak of antibiotic-resistant bacteria caused the babies to die in less than two months, and now the Human Rights Commission says the hospital will solve the problem by appointing more staff.

However, experts believe the problem could have been avoided with good, and sustainable, hygiene, which does not necessarily mean that more staff is needed.

Department of Health: Medical negligence claims increase to more than R104 billion in 2019 due to negligence & extremely poor medic services in health sector

Posted on March 15, 2020 Leave a comment

Claims of patients instituted due to medical negligence by the state’s institutions have risen dramatically, highlighting the extremely poor medical services in the health sector.

Over the past four years to 2019, more than R104 billion has been claimed by patients or their relatives against the Department of Health.

Observers point out that this is a clear indication of the quality of health services in state entities, which according to statistics is a four-fold increase in claims over the previous four-year term.

The claims are largely due to negligence in government hospitals, and people who do not have a medical scheme are the victims because they have no alternative solution.

New Health Plan poses huge risk to SA’s economy and would be disastrous if implemented – even far left FW de Klerk Foundation have their doubts!

Posted on August 26, 2019 Leave a comment

The ANC regime has South Africa’s people in a huge dilemma with its National Health Plan.

Foreign media reports that a government spokesman said the plan would be implemented gradually, but that would depend on the economic growth achieved.

Experts point out that the country will not show any significant growth in the next five years, with the massive unemployment still rising.

The plan is believed to be “rolled out” in phases as economic growth improves, but experts point out that nothing has been said about what will happen if the economy recedes further.

Opinionists believe this will mean that the tax assessment could increase dramatically, and ultimately the entire Plan will fail.

Even the far left FW de Klerk Foundation believes implementing the Health Plan will be yet another disaster for South Africa.

ANC regime’s NHI plan back in the news – according to spokesman it will be wisely implemented – As if the ANC knows what wisely means!

Posted on August 26, 2019 Leave a comment

The ANC’s National Health Plan is back in the news after the party’s spokesman said the scheme would be implemented with “prudence”.

With the announcement, without offering new details, the ANC once again raised the smoke clouds,as doctors get busy packing to leave the country.

The ultimate cost, when the plan is fully operational, could amount to as much as R400 Billion a year, which the planners say will only result in a “small increase” in income tax for individuals.

Experts say the ANC has come up with an idea that will not work as long as hospitals and health clinics are in the current chaotic state, unemployment is still at 30%, and the country’s expertise in managing the comprehensive service, still missing.

The promise that the Plan will be implemented gradually is only a lipservice for taxpayers, and when failures take its toll, reversal is not possible.
