Dear Editor
The Democratic Alliance (DA) has noted the response from Health MEC, Ntandokazi Capa, and would like to reaffirm our commitment to the well-being of patients at Frontier Hospital and the importance of safeguarding lives through reliable power infrastructure.
We are deeply concerned about the ongoing disruptions at Frontier Hospital. This morning’s information relating to two patients’ deaths was based on credible information from reliable sources, and we remain confident in their integrity. At the same time, we respect the MEC’s response, and do not wish to create unnecessary alarm.
Our primary aim is to ensure that infrastructural issues never compromise patient safety. It is crucial that the ongoing challenges with power reliability at healthcare facilities, such as Frontier Hospital, receive urgent and focused attention.
The DA remains dedicated to advocating for a safe and resilient healthcare system for all, and we will continue to monitor the situation at Frontier Hospital to ensure that no patient’s life is put at risk due to infrastructural failures.
Regards
Jane Cowley MPL
DA Shadow MEC for Health
