Patients in H1 category paying nothing.
Patient in H2 paying part of the fee and patient in H3 category pay full hospital fees.
2. When a patient on medical aid utilises public health facilities, they are not required to pay only extra cash above what the medical aid pay for them.
3. Honourable Member, death of a patient due to a deliberate action by employees and/or management of state hospitals to me means murdering such a patient – that is what deliberate action will mean to me.
We have never had a report of such.
4. Since the various litigations are directed at provinces and not at the Minister, and payments are done by provinces, I am still collecting this data.
5. Honourable Member, it will to a long way for you to be a bit specific about the deaths you are referring to, in order to help me answer your question.
Number of deaths from what? HIV/AIDS? TB? Pneumonia? Diarrhoea? Diabetes, Stroke, Cancer? Hepatitis? Meningitis? Heart failure? Liver failure? Prematurity?
And what type of injuries – motor vehicle accidents? Gunshots wounds? Assault? Stab wounds? Burn wounds? What exactly?
END.
