Mpumalanga health department sees nearly R600m worth of litigation

The DA said the state of the health department in the province continued to deteriorate despite a cabinet reshuffle that saw Sasekani Manznini becoming MEC of the department.

The department also recorded expired medicine worth more than R1.1m at the provincial deport, in the third quarter of the 2018/19 financial year. The expiry of the medication was due to an outdated stock management system. This is 53% more expired medicine than what the hospitals and the clinics together reported in the previous financial year’s third quarter, according to Sithole.

In its defence, the department said that the recent budget reduction of R88.5m would have a major impact as the department would not be able to rappoint CEOs, financial, medical, corporate or nursing managers in hospitals.

How many destroyed lives does this add up to. Nevermind the money.
