Patients die after power cut at Letaba Hospital

Two patients died Wednesday night after a power outage when one of the faulty generators ran out of Diesel.

The faulty generator at Letaba Hospital is a recurring problem, said Langa Bodlani of the Democratic Alliance (DA).

Bodlani further said this is the fifth time the generator did not have enough fuel to keep life support machines going.

According to him it is gross negligence that led to the death of these two patients.

He further stated that the Department of Health must be held accountable and that measures must be put in place so that generators must function at all times during power outages.

The DA have laid charges of criminal negligence against the Limpopo Department of Health at the Polokwane Police station.
