The Free State MEC for Health, Monyatso Mahlatsi has conducted an inspection at two health facilities in the Lejweleputswa District. This after the Bophelong and Leratong Clinics in Allanridge were closed in April.
The closure of facilities was due to a prohibition notice issued by the Department of Employment and Labour, citing non-compliance with health and safety regulations.
Mahlatsi says the aim of the visit was to address compliance issues, and assess the impact of recent incidents on healthcare services in the region.
“I visited two clinics – Bophelong and Lerato – and I realised that we had a serious structural problem with that to an extend that one of our clinics has been closed by the Department of Labour through a prohibition notice. I am relieved that the management of the district had interacted with public facilities in the area and that our workers will find space to operate from, while we are trying to resolve the issues in that space,” says Mahlatsi
