#FirstThingsFirst - The state of public hospitals

--:--
Former broadcaster Tom London has accused Helen Joseph Hospital of illtreating patients. He alleges the doctors treat patients like cockroaches. In a viral video, he's revealed malfunctioning taps, peeling ceiling boards, and broken plug points. But Gauteng Health MEC, Nomantu Nkomo-Ralehoko doesn't quite agree with some of what he's claiming. During her visit to the hospital yesterday, she accused London of being used by political parties to discredit the NHI. The team reflected on this incident, allowing listeners to share their experiences with public hospitals. They also asked whether the MEC is scapegoating by accusing political parties of taking advantage of the situation.
