The health department has outlined the reasons for being unable to employ a large number of qualified medical doctors, saying the department does not have the budget.

Members of the SA Medical Association Trade Union marched in four provinces last week, to highlight the plight of unemployed doctors.

The department’s Deputy Director-General Percy Mahlathi says the major problem is that they don’t have enough budget.

We live in interesting times where doctors can't find jobs when the sick are all around us. We are witnessing to consequences of corruption in out lifetimes.

Corruption corruption. The looting never ends. And it won't because it's ingrained in their brains. Who cares what happens to the poor. ANC don't. Never have. Typical of most African leaders. The country starves and dies while they jet around the world for their medical care

Biggest problem is that more than half the budget is used to pay salaries for excess useless staff and ghost workers!

Are the Cuban doctors gone?

The government money is with the evil Gupta's and the corrupt Nkandla family,so the government must reclaim the money from this families & their associates

Where is minister Nathi Mthethwa with that 20M for a flag

The only available budget is for corruption

please be serious. we talking about peoples live here

We can't expect them to hire doctors in public hospitals, because ministers have never waited for hours to be attended by a doctor. They never dare set their foot in public hospitals.

Not so long ago they imported Doctors from Cuba payed them millions and did absolutely nothing. Today they don't have the money to pay home educated doctors.

We always have no budget for important things in SA, but have budget for grants.

This is absolutely depressing

2024 we need to vote in numbers, ward 6 Rob Ferreira hospital there are patients who are waiting for more than 3 moths just to go to Theatre, the fractured bones heal while they still on the waiting list.
