Police find three Esidimeni patients at death NGO
13 February 2018
I have been informed by the police that they have found 5 of the 62 patients that were listed as missing since they were discharged from Life Esidimeni in mid-2016.
Three of these patients are at the Mosego Home in Krugersdorp which the Health Ombudsman ordered closed after 7 patients died there.
Another patient was discharged from Mosego in October last year, and the police say that one patient is deceased but provide no details on the circumstances of his death.
I am horrified that three Esidimeni patients are still at one of the NGOs that Health Ombudsman Malegapuru Makgoba said should be closed "immediately as their continuity poses high risk".
