Gauteng, North West hospitals facing multi-faceted crisis

Johannesburg – Patients at Gauteng and North West hospitals continue to suffer from problems such as a shortage of water, overcrowding, lack of medication and poor treatment by hospital staff.
There was a shortage of water supply at the Hursthill, Brixton and Crosby areas, leading to two hospitals, Rahima Moosa and Helen Joseph, to be supplied with water tankers.
Gauteng Health MEC spokesperson Kwara Kekana said the water issue was not due to the department, but the City of Joburg’s water entity, Johannesburg Water.
Johannesburg Water spokesperson Eleanor Mavimbela said they had explored all possible technical options with bulk supplier Rand Water in resolving challenges with the water supply in the area’s systems, which were being caused by below average inflow of water into the system.

Water crisis at Steve Biko Academic Hospital

Pretoria - Patients at the Steve Biko Academic Hospital have criticised the management for failing to provide them with water for two days, amid a coronavirus pandemic and with no reasonable explanation.
A patient who requested to remain anonymous said they were unhappy with the treatment and lack of urgency displayed by the hospital, after they have had to “sit without water” from Sunday morning.
The patient said that as the toilets started to stink, they were forced to use water collected in buckets from a fire hydrant on the lower levels in order to flush them. However, they could not drink the water as it had chemicals used to extinguish fires.
