The doctor added that the costs of having to constantly call or email the Department of Health and ICSP to enquire about placement was becoming hard on her pocket.
In an email, seen by The Star, sent to the doctor on Friday, the ICSP management told her that there was a shortfall of posts as a result of increased intake for the midyear cycle due to extension of the academic year at higher education institutions as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic.SA Medical Association chairperson Dr Angelique Coetzee confirmed that out of the 288 interns, about 118 have already been placed and a further 213 posts were available.
“They must accept all of us in the July cycle, because we’ve been engaging with the department and they have known since at least April that all of us have graduated. We’re ready to go to work as soon as possible,” he said. Health Department spokesperson Popo Maja was unable to provide comment by time of publication, however the department’s workforce management director Victor Khanyile said on eNCA on Sunday morning that the 288 medical interns would be in the workforce by July 1.
TheStar_news The mind boggles at this. One would think there wouldn't be such a problem, that the department of health is constantly in touch with medical universities to know the numbers. De javu: years back we were told the country has more teachers than needed. A CRYING SHAME!

TheStar_news While the HealthZA members are taking the own sweet time, the hospitals are coming under increased pressure and unfortunately these interns are sitting at home with no employment. GovernmentZA should also step in and assist these interns. Or maybe they don't care...
TheStar_news We don't need them. We got the Cubans.
