Govt 'Fires' Hospital Bosses In Restructuring Exercise

The Health Services Board (HSB) has reportedly fired all Chief Executive Officers (CEOs) in government hospitals in a ‘restructuring exercise’.

HSB Board Chair Paulinos Sikhosana told Health Times that the restructuring was meant to bring sanity in all public health institutions. Said Sikhosana:

There is a restructuring going to improve efficiency effectiveness and integrity, so that’s the only statement that I can tell you.

Nurses have been on an indefinite strike demanding better remuneration while the number of people testing positive for SARS-CoV-2 is increasing daily with cases nearing 1 000.
