Government's attempt to muzzle doctors is aimed at preventing the truth about the conditions at their hospitals from reaching the public, says the SA Medical Association.
Sama also cited the case of a Limpopo doctor who was suspended by provincial authorities after accusations of misconduct against him. A task team found no basis for the allegations against him.
“These two cases point to a concerted campaign by health departments to muzzle critics and prevent the truth about the conditions at their hospitals from reaching the public,” Sama charged. The Sama Trade Union added its voice to calls for the management of Rahima Moosa Mother and Child Hospital to withdraw the suspension of the paediatric gastroenterologist.
