A medical equipment supplier accused of charging excessive prices for examination gloves has supplied a government department — at no charge — with 49,400 surgical face masks to the same value as the estimated “excessive profits” it generated.

A Cape Town medical equipment supplier has provided the Western Cape department of health with 49,400 surgical masks at no charge at a cost price value of R304,135.

In June 2020, the commission received information about alleged inflated prices being charged by Supra Healthcare for medical examination gloves. Supra Healthcare responded to the invitation on May 15 2020 and the department subsequently accepted the quote for 130,000 medium examination gloves and 130,000 large examination gloves.
