North East District Council Chairperson Flora Mpetsane has expressed concern over the shortage of staff especially doctors in the district which impedes the fight against Covid-19 pandemic.
Addressing a full council meeting recently, she said the District Health Management Team (DHMT) faces challenges as health workers are resigning with some going on study leave.
“The district should have at least 14 doctors. Currently there are 10 medical officers, four in Masunga Primary Hospital instead of seven. The remaining six instead of eight are for cluster clinics.
