SAMA chairperson says it was also important that those who were in management positions in the health sector to have experience.

The South African Medical Association says it is concerned about reports that, during the Covid-19 pandemic, medical staff were being employed at care levels they did not have experience in.

Coetzee added that it was also important that those who were in management positions in the health sector to have experience. She said: “One of the indicators at the national department of health is your vacancy rate so if your vacancy rate is artificially being brought down to a level of 1-2%, by taking the unfunded posts and abolishing them, then you look great on paper.“We would like to ask the national Department of Health to set up a task team so that we go and look at the stats from the last 20 years to see how many posts have become unfunded post and then abolished to make everything on paper look better.

Her sentiments hit close to home for Mashaba, who said he hadn’t seen his sister – also a healthcare worker – in two months.
