Show Notes
Professor Taole Mokoenas investigations into two tragic hospital deaths reveal major safety lapses, legal non-compliance, and poor clinical practices. At George Mukhari Academic Hospital, a mental health patients death in a fire was caused by improper admission, excessive restraints, withheld medication, and ignored fire safety warnings. At Netcare Femina Hospital, a babys death due to a medication error was due to a bad prescription, sloppy handoffs, and outdated protocols. Both hospitals face orders to improve safety measures and accountability to protect patients.
