The Port Shepstone Regional Hospital’s staff in the casualty department has been hailed for their determination, the manner they do their work, and for responding swiftly to a patient in need.
Nomusa Mhlongo recently reached out to Fever saying that she wanted to praise the hospital’s casualty department that was working during the day on November 7.
She explained that the service she received at the hospital after running over a five-year-old child in KwaMadlala last week, left her speechless.
“A child was hurt in KwaMadlala Ward 14. The child was getting off her scholar transport and tried to cross the road, running from the back of the car while I was coming from the opposite direction. I ran her over because I did not see her. She was severely injured, especially on the head. As the ambulance was late and because her mother was there, we got into my car and we rushed to the hospital,” said Mhlongo, adding that when they got to the casualty department, the staff dropped everything they were doing and attended to the child until she was stable.
Mhlongo added: “They updated us about everything including the different X-rays they were doing. I just want to praise that team and also urge them to continue with the sterling work they do because it was evident that they did it with love.”
She has also urged ‘oMalume’ (scholar transport drivers) to be very careful when dropping off children, especially the little ones.
She said oMalume should accompany the children when they cross the road, saying that they must watch the child, and warn them if a car is coming.
“I don”t think helping a child cross the road will take a lot of their time,” she said..
