Khabo Sithole has been pleasantly surprised by the top-class treatment she is receiving at Clairwood Hospital.
“I’ve been seen by a minimum of two doctors per day, and given updates on my condition. I’ve also been given a plan going forward so I know what next to expect. I’ve been given cocktails of medication both intravenously and orally. The doctors even taught me how to sleep. I’ve been taught how to breathe by the physiotherapists.
“When things were tough and I couldn’t help myself, the nurses gave me sponge baths and would help wipe me with warm damp towels.”“I grew up [relying] on public health facilities. When I was blessed to be able to afford it, I used private health facilities. “This facility I’ve been in for the past two weeks does not say 'public health facility' — not in the slightest. The level of these operations are of private health facilities. I wonder if I’ve just tasted NHI [National Health Insurance].“The nurses and doctors were friendly and engaging, and didn’t have any airs about them. They were kind.
“I found a decent and respectable place at this hospital. Even the isolation ward I’m in looks like it’s fit to accommodate someone who will part with a huge cheque upon their discharge.Sithole, who has been in isolation at the hospital for 14 days, is expected to stay another 10 days before she is discharged.
“We are very proud of the staff and management of Clairwood Hospital, as well as the infrastructure development team that delivered this world-class facility, and many others, in record time.”
