Limpopo Mediclinic allays health officials’ concerns around Covid-19 reporting

Mediclinic chief clinical officer Dr Stefanus Smuts agreed that there were initially ‘slight delays’. However, the matter has been swiftly resolved.

“While initial reporting was slightly delayed on weekends, these matters were swiftly resolved,” Smuts said. The concerns by the provincial health officials followed the first death reported in Limpopo at the privately-run Netcare Pholoso Hospital. The 69-year old retired lawyer, who was said to also suffer from an underlying disease, died a week ago.

While at home in Sekhukhune, his condition worsened and he was taken to a private medical consultation room where he died, Ramathuba said.
