POSED RISK TO PATIENTS
THE Gauteng Health Department has secured a R275 million boost to tackle critical shortages in hospital linen, beds, and mattresses.
This follows a series of articles that The Star exposed, highlighting critical shortages of linen across Gauteng hospitals. Investigations revealed that aging laundry equipment, delayed procurement processes, and mismanagement have left hospitals struggling to provide clean bedding for patients.
In some facilities, patients were forced to share sheets, wait long periods for fresh linen, or even bring their own, highlighting serious gaps in basic care.
