Healthcare workers at the Thelle Mogoerane Hospital have called out their management for the trauma they have had to endure following the "unwarranted" deaths of patients who had to spend days on stretchers in the casualty department while waiting to be moved to appropriate wards.
Critically ill patients, including ventilation cases, those in need of surgery and psychiatric patients, are stranded for up to seven days in the hospital's emergency and trauma department – also known as casualty – for ward admission. This is due to insufficient critical care beds and doctors and nurses, frustrated staff told City Press.
