Mahikeng

The hospital currently has only one optometrist and intends to recruit more.

Patients at the Mahikeng Provincial Hospital in the North West have criticised it for allegedly failing to provide adequate optometry services.

One of the patients is a grade 12 learner, Gomolemo More, whose academic performance has been negatively affected by her vision problem. More says she struggles to read at school due to her poor vision. She has been waiting for her spectacles from the Mahikeng Provincial Hospital for years. Her mother, Keabetswe More, says they have been going to the hospital since 2022, hoping to get spectacles for her daughter. But two years later, they still waiting.

53-year-old Tuelo Manhe says she too has been waiting for her prescription spectacles for five years. She says as a temporary measure the hospital lent her spectacles that are not suitable for her eye problem and this has worsened her condition.
