Nurses 'burnt out' at clinic that turned away pregnant woman, says SAHRC

'There are many challenges. We will send formal correspondence to the department of health into the health facility as a whole. There’s a need for an urgent funded plan to address the challenges. Most of the healthcare facilities are in a dire state," Jones said.

Elina Maseko, who lives in an RDP house in Mamelodi, was on her way to hospital when a neighbour's car ran out of petrol close to the clinic on June 30.Maseko, 45, allegedly gave birth outside the clinic with the assistance of a relative. "Precious [the baby] is healthy and okay. I was in the hospital because my blood pressure was high as a result of the treatment. I want to forget about it. But I always think about it, it haunts me.

She said the healthcare officials at the clinic had no regard for her and the baby."I want them to lose their job. They clearly don’t know how to care for people. "I’m not happy. This has never happened to me. I can’t forget how I cried out to my niece asking if my child was alive."The Gauteng health department also launched an inquiry into the matter.
