IN CONVERSATION WITH JABU RAKWENA

AZAPO views with dismay and expresses concern over the withdrawal of services by the Healthcare Professionals of the Ekurhuleni Department of Family Medicine at Ekurhuleni due to unpaid overtime hours.
This situation reflects a failure by the Gauteng Health Department to provide optimal health services for patients at Ekurhuleni Hospitals. The issue is further exacerbated by the non-payment of doctors' commuted overtime, which is likely to result in inadequate healthcare services in Ekurhuleni. Currently, doctors at Ekurhuleni are no longer performing overtime duties, leading to a lack of after-hours health services.
The healthcare crisis in Ekurhuleni underscores a systemic issue within the Gauteng Health Department. The withdrawal of services due to unpaid overtime not only hampers the immediate delivery of healthcare but also threatens long-term public health stability.
