Rip-off beds for Nasrec field hospital
4 August 2020
The Gauteng health department spent R13 000 for each bed in the NASREC field hospital but could easily have bought them for less than half the price from other suppliers.
See here for a photo of the bed at NASREC and here for prices paid for these beds and other items.
According to a presentation to the Gauteng Legislature’s Health Committee, 1000 beds with mattresses were bought for R13 million, with each bed costing R13 000.
