Durban - The failure of the KwaZulu-Natal Department of Health to meet its own deadline of opening the state of the art Dr Pixley Ka Seme Hospital has been condemned by labour unions.
The hospital was meant to be open in June 2019 after the construction began in 2015. The Public Servants Association of South Africa PSA, KZN manager Mlungisi Ndlovu, said the hospital should have been open long ago to relieve pressure from other nearby facilities.
Ndlovu said the KZN Health MEC Nomagugu Simelane-Zulu should hold the Head of Department accountable for the delay.
