BAY CLINICS

Last week ,I was reading a Community Newspaper called Zithethele, which focuses on the Nelson Mandela Metropolitan Bay.. I then came across a story about how the Bay clinics are in need of medicines.it really surprise me, that clinics that are under government be short of medicines, especially ARV’s and TB medication. There clinics are in townships (Kwa-zakhele and Motherwell) for heaven’s sake, and that is where the high rates of HIV/AIDS & TB are. Atleast the clinics are doing something about the situation by sending the patients to Dora Nginza hospital. As for the Government they did not handle  the matter very well, they say in the article, every month they wait for figures from the clinics , which they do not get. Well I think they should put pressure on them to give them the figures and not just “wait”.because people are dying of this negligence. government says the problem is the communication between them and the medicine depot in here in Port Elizabeth.But they promised  that they will be sending medication by the end of March,lets hope it is not one of those empty promise cause people are dying outside.This is it for this week..(*_^)..IM OUT
