Angry health-care workers have blamed shortages of quality personal protective equipment for the death of at least eight doctors from Covid-19 in Gauteng public hospitals last week.
Dr Mphadi Clive Mogajane, who was servicing Standerton Hospital, also died last week and was very active in sharing vital information about the pandemic. “She had really young kids, her youngest is only six years old so as much as we told her mommy passed away, it hasn’t sunk in yet,” she said. “Every day doctors and nurses die and nobody is saying anything about it. In some hospitals, the interns are given one mask and are told they must use it for the whole week,” she said.
