DA welcomes new CEO of Bara Hospital
10 January 2019
The DA welcomes the appointment of Dr Nkele Lesia as the new CEO of the Chris Hani Baragwanath Hospital.
This appointment is long overdue as the hospital has been without a permanent CEO for three years since former Health MEC Qedani Mahlangu removed the previous CEO for unexplained reasons.
Dr Lesia will be in charge of a R3 billion budget and 6000 employees.
I hope that she provides the necessary strong leadership to rebuild morale at the hospital and fix deep-rooted problems that adversely affect the quality of patient care.
