SAHRC DEEPLY CONCERNED ABOUT BABIES' DEATHS AT LIMPOPO HOSPITAL, LAUNCHES AN OWN INITIATIVE INVESTIGATION.
8 JANUARY 2013
The South African Human Rights Commission is shocked by the reported deaths of four babies at the hospital in Limpopo Province.
It is reported that the four newly-born babies died between Thursday the 3rd January and Saturday the 5th January 2013 at the George Masebe Hospital in Mokopane, due to suspected negligence.
It is further reported that there were no enough doctors at the hospital, and only eight doctors were on duty, instead of thirty-eight during the period when the babies died.
The SAHRC is deeply concerned that this tragedy was allowed to happen.
