Health Dept Counters DA Claims | Johannesburg News
Description
Gauteng’s health department is countering claims that patients at Charlotte Maxeke Hospital were denied critical medicines, calling them factually wrong and misleading. The DA had warned of serious health risks due to shortages, but hospital officials found inconsistencies — including a non-existent “Ward 5” — in the allegations. The DA spokesperson privately admitted the error but failed to issue a public correction, risking public panic. The department stresses that while public healthcare faces challenges, they’re managed through proper channels and urges politicians to verify facts and correct misinformation to protect public trust.
