Dr Balldt stated that the babies were admitted to 3 different wards but were sick at the same time. They were then admitted to 1 ward. She told the committee that the hospital had never had an outbreak like that before and further indicated that the hospital was once rated a world class hospital. She stated that she was very concerned over the bad reports by the media. She indicated that staff has to be acknowledged for the good job they did during the outbreak instead of blaming them. She also admitted that there were challenges like overcrowding in the ward and staff shortages and that most of the staff did not want to work at the neonatal ward because of the heavy workload.
