08 July 2019
Elina Maseko has no words for the nurses who allegedly refused her care, leading to her giving birth to her baby at the gates of Stanza Bopape Clinic in Mamelodi, Tshwane, on Sunday last week.
Elina Maseko has no words for the nurses who allegedly refused her care, leading to her giving birth to her baby at the gates of Stanza Bopape Clinic in Mamelodi, Tshwane, on Sunday last week.
"I have nothing to say to those nurses after what they did to me. I just hope they lose their jobs," she told the media at her home in Mamelodi.
Maseko further indicated that she wanted compensation for her ordeal.
This comes after the South African Human Rights Commission's (SAHRC) Buang Jones paid her a visit on Monday, shortly after he had conducted an oversight visit to the clinic.
Stanza Bopape Clinic faces many challenges, with only eight beds in its maternity unit.
"There is sufficient land adjacent to the clinic. There is a need to expand the maternity ward as they only have eight beds; two delivery, two antenatal and four postnatal beds, with only two midwives on duty,” Jones said.
