KZN nurses suspended for allegedly ignoring woman in labour

Two KwaZulu-Natal nurses have been suspended after they allegedly ignored a woman in labour, the provincial Department of Health said on Tuesday.

The MEC said the nurses based at St Mary’s Hospital in Durban allegedly ignored the woman and told her to let them know when the baby was born. The premature baby died on Saturday around eight hours after being placed in an incubator after being born on Friday. “I have said this before, and I will say it again – there is no space in this department for anyone who wants to involve themselves in any kind of misconduct, not least of which is disrespect for our fellow compatriots who come to our facilities out of a desperate need for help.”“It is the job of healthcare professionals to provide care, support and overall nursing so that people who come to us because they have nowhere to go, can overcome whatever ailment they are suffering from.

It's about time 'suspended' nah should be dismissed fast.
