“It is therefore disingenuous for leaders of professional and democratic trade unions for medical practitioners to try and exploit the emotions of those desperately seeking employment by giving them false information,” Mohale charged.
He said they remained committed to strengthening the health system through, among others, ensuring adequate staffing of its health facilities.to improve the budget allocation to enable the public health sector to fulfil its constitutional responsibility.He discouraged any action that sought to disrupt health services and that the department’s door remained open for honest engagements with any organisation that wishes to raise concerns, including sharing viable potential solutions.
“Whilst everyone and any organisation have a right to protest in public, such protest must not be based on false information. “Leaders have the responsibility to represent their members honestly, faithfully and without distortion of the facts. Solution-seeking engagements are always welcomed to achieve a long and healthy life for all South Africans,” Mohale added.
The department explains that its responsibility ends once medical doctors complete their community service, then they become free to seek employment of their choice.
