Too few military medics to assist in Gauteng mortuary strike
20 June 2017
The Gauteng Health Department announced last week that military staff would be used at the ten Gauteng state mortuaries hit by strike action, but only 10 military medics are assisting, which is too few to cut the backlog of more than 200 bodies.
Pathologists are struggling to keep the backlog of autopsies from growing as about 40 new bodies come in every day.
The Department's efforts to ameliorate the effects of the strike and to end it have been feeble.
Again, this shows that the ANC is too weak to act against union allies.
