Queue disaster continues at Steve Biko Hospital
28 October 2014
Long queues and waiting times continue at the Steve Biko Academic Hospital in Pretoria two months after a new electronic patient flow system was introduced.
This was my observation when I visited the hospital yesterday.
Hospital management said previously that teething problems would be sorted out with the new system, but most patients said that it had worsened the situation.
Patients queue outside the hospital from as early as 02h00, and only come inside when the doors are opened at 06h30.
