The woman, who asked not to be named, said she was visiting another patient at the hospital when she saw the frail patient named Imraan Isaacs.

She said when she saw the staff leaving him alone, she intervened.

The woman explains: “I intervened after what I had seen and was not going to walk past and let a frail, 31-kg emaciated, extremely ill patient be left on the side of the road.

“The porters were not helpful in any way. I had no alternative but to take serious action with regards to the care of the gentleman.
