Bloemfontein – The recently opened Borwa clinic in Tweespruit uses only six rooms despite a staggering R61 million spent.
Funded by national government under Montsheng Tsiu, former MEC of Health and erstwhile Premier, Sefora Ntombela, the clinic was opened last month.
While the busiest clinic records 4000 patients a month with the less busy clinic records 2500 patients, Borwa clinic records only 200 patients a month.
STEPUPSANEWS can confirm the ablution facilities at the clinic are not fully functional as water is a challenge, the township relies heavily on borehole water supply.
A clinic without full supply of water.
In addition to that, the clinic does not have EMS unit and security is from Senyorita Nhlabathi hospital in Ladybrand.
In other news, a child provided with expired drips vomited blood at Senotira Nhlabathi Hospital after staff administered two expired drips yesterday.
The first drip expired in April while the second in October.
Mondli Mvambi, spokesperson for department of Health in Free State didn’t respond to our questions.
