What is behind Gauteng's shocking serious adverse event numbers?

Since giving birth by Caesarean section last year at Tembisa Hospital,
20-year-old Mpho Nombewu says she has suffered painful complications. Nombewu
has been advised by different doctors she consulted about her condition to
return to the facility where she gave birth.
But Nombewu refuses, telling
Spotlight she is scared she might die due to Tembisa Hospital’s reputation for
patients suffering serious adverse events (SAEs).
SAEs in this context refers to events that result in unintended harm to a
patient because something was or wasn’t done as part of a patient’s care,
rather than because of the underlying disease or condition of the patient.
