Limpopo health department cries foul after patient waits eight hours to see a doctor
This comes after the department learnt about a woman patient living with a disability waiting for eight hours to be seen by a doctor at Siloam Hospital outside of Nzhelele in the Vhembe district in Limpopo on Monday.
She was advised that her file had gone missing and had to wait while the team was searching for it since the doctors and all clinicians attending to her needed her file for the sake of her clinical history and medication. The department is in the process of scanning, archiving and refiling all our medical records, starting with inactive files.
