SIXTEEN cancer patients scored a legal victory after they turned to court to overturn a Cape Town hospital's decision to terminate the practicing privileges of one of the country’s top oncologists, thus depriving their right to be treated by him.

The patients turned to the Western Cape High Court follow-ing the decision by Life Vincent Pallotti Hospital which resulted in Dr Louis Kathan no longer being able to treat them. About 18 months ago, the hospi-tal terminated his practising privileges. The termination did not take place with immediate effect but was delayed by a few months. The decision was made because Kathan was accused of making certain homophobic, racist, and sexist remarks while at the hospital.
