The family of a man found dead outside a hospital is suing the Mpumalanga department of health for R40 million, on the grounds that the facility failed to ensure the safety of the patient.
The furious family said they decided to take the legal route after hospital management could not explain what might have led to his death.His body was found on the street by community members going to work in the early hours of the morning. “When we visited him he was critically ill and could not even go to the bathroom by himself. He needed assistance.
She said the hospital phoned at 4am on that day to notify them that her father had gone missing. When they arrived at the hospital in the early hours of the morning, a search was launched.“My father was found half naked in underwear with his cellphone next to him. Surprisingly he never had a mental problem, he was only suffering from asthma. We inspected the hospital premises and found that a patient can’t escape without being noticed.
