Nurses home at Helen Joseph Hospital fit for pigs
10 December 2015
Congress of the People is shocked at the appalling and deplorable living conditions of nurses at the Helen Joseph hospital. We cannot believe that the ANC led government can be so impervious to their suffering and hardship.
While some of President Zuma 's ministers abuse taxpayers’ money to stay in the most luxurious and expensive hotels, nurses are forced to stay in places fit for pigs.
It is utterly scandalous and reprehensible that the nurses do not have toilets. They have to go to neighbouring residents to relieve themselves. At night they have to use buckets to urinate in.
Neither do the nurses have proper and decent kitchen facilities. The entire building is in a shocking state.
