Health Ombudsman Uncovers Grave Failures at Tshwane Hospitals: A Tragic Tale of Negligence and Neglect
The health ombudsman has released a damning report on two Tshwane hospitals, Dr George Mukhari Academic Hospital and Netcare Femina Hospital, following the deaths of Lerato Mohlamme and baby Moatlegi Masoka. The investigation revealed serious failures, including rule-breaking admissions, withheld medication and food, excessive restraints, and ignored claims of sexual assault. The psychiatric unit at Dr George Mukhari was plagued with safety gaps, leading to a deadly fire. At Netcare Femina, sloppy admission processes and delayed treatment resulted in the babys death. Both hospitals showed patterns of poor leadership and communication. Officials have ordered immediate fixes and handed over involved staff for review.
