Hi everyone,
My main reason for writing is to inform you about the ongoing strike by doctors and nurses in public hospitals, which is also affecting some of our patients.1. In this instance, Noel Sickler, who was due for her clinic appointment on 11 December 2013 – and
2. Helen, who is undergoing daily radiotherapy sessions at KNH, did not receive their treatment.
We do not yet know when this will end, as the government’s efforts to get healthcare workers back to work by yesterday have so far come to nothing.3. Jacob (epilepsy) was due for a review on 9 December 2013. However, we have not been able to find his doctor and there is no one at his clinic. I suggest we find another neurosurgeon. The situation is so frustrating and annoying. In fact, many patients are leaving. Dirk, I think you would be better placed to say something here.
