Our complicity for other people’s indignity lies in what we choose not to see, not to comment on, not to question about our abnormal environments. It’s in the way we’ve made peace with stark inequalities, adjusted to the abnormal. It’s in many of our ... dailymaverick.co.za/article/…

At last
Twitter South Africans has spent today speaking about access to public health care. Many are convinced that our illegal Zimbabweans are responsible for our “overburdened” health system. A narrative started by Former Health Minister Dr Motsoaledi.

Specialist doctors at many state facilities aren’t showing up to work despite earning millions of rands a year in taxpayer money. The consequences for patient health can be devastating but not everyone agrees on the solutions. dailymaverick.co.za/article/…

@SJDStevenson begins: "the delinquent provincial government was the government that houses the City of Gold, national government and the Constitutional Court... And yet we have seen, for years, how disaster seems to court @GautengHealth." #GautengHealth @WitsHealthFac

Gauteng health crisis — MEC for Health Nomathemba Mok... " It's not a crisis" , "it's the foreigner influx", "it's the aging infrastructure". Lots of finger pointing, little action. In the meantime patients are dying. Health workers are burnt out. dailymaverick.co.za/article/…

@ladysurgeonsa . Disappointing to hear Prof Mathivha from CHBAH on @702 right now- she omits to mention RAHIMA MOOSA MOTHER & CHILD HOSPITAL when stressing the burden that has fallen on hospitals who are taking on the patient load of CMJAH. Very telling
Tim De Maayer retweeted
Yet despite a poorly functioning hospital, CMJAH’s covid posts have been renewed, while Rahima Moosa‘s budget is cut. This despite RM treating CMJAH patients since the fire, and delivering many times the neonates born at CMJAH @FrancoisVenter3 @ProfGuyRichards @drgail3

Every day #hepatitisB is being unknowingly passed on to babies from their mothers, putting them at higher risk of liver cancer. Yet, good diagnostics + highly effective/safe birth-dose vaccine are available so this. must. stop.
