What the hell is a Dinning Wall? A set of awful sign-spellings have made this hospital in Gauteng a complete laughing stock...

SHOCK over misspelled signage at the Helen Joseph Hospital.

There is a backlog of more than 1,200 orthopaedic and child patients waiting up to two years for surgery

Gauteng public hospital staff are working in fear, according to the DA in the province, after several staffers were allegedly slapped, punched or bitten in 43 attacks by psychiatric patients at 17 public hospitals since January last year.

A delay in paying suppliers has caused a five-month shortage of plaster of Paris at the Thelle Mogoerane Regional Hospital in Vosloorus, east of Johannesburg.

The Gauteng health department's internal probe of Tembisa Hospital - set in motion after Babita Deokaran flagged nearly R850 million in dubious payments - was concluded in less than a week, and auditors were pulled out on the day she was assassinated.

The DA's Jack Bloom described the premier’s office, which coordinated the forensic investigation into the hospital fire, as the 'graveyard of investigations', saying they were never done speedily or made public.

Some patients told to wait 4-and-a-half years for their operations.

The nursing staff at the hospital quickly rushed to the ward's window when they heard a noise in the early hours of Sunday morning.

DA’s Jack Bloom said he suspects MEC Mokgethi ‘was part of the cover-up at Tembisa Hospital, because it is linked to senior ANC officials in Gauteng’.
