Good care for former Esidimeni patients at Selby Park Hospital
26 April 2017
Former mental patients from Life Esidimeni are receiving good treatment at the Clinix Selby Park Hospital in inner-city Johannesburg where they were sent from unlicensed NGOs.
I saw this yesterday (25 April) after I visited the hospital with my colleague Dr Neil Campbell MPL in order to check on the conditions of the patients.
Hospital management informed us that they had 380 former Esidimeni patients and were expecting 15 more before the end of the month.
They are fully staffed, with four psychiatrists and a team of medical doctors, social workers, dietitians and occupational therapists.
