Overburdened hospitals run out of supplies

2021-06-23 2

The need for hospital beds and oxygen-related products, especially in Gauteng, has become overwhelming during the third wave of COVID-19. Deputy Chair of the Solidarity Fund Adrian Enthoven says private and public hospitals are filled to capacity. He says the fund has been providing support to the public health system as well as NGOs like Gift of the Givers. Enthoven says they've recently approved R16 million for additional nurses across Gauteng, because the health department didn't have the budget for it. Courtesy #DStv403
