KNYSNA NEWS - Members of the ANC marched from Knysna CDC clinic in White Location to the Knysna Provincial Hospital this morning to raise their grievances with the hospital, one of which is demanding that the hospital's chief medical officer, Dr du Plooy resigns.
One of the protesters, who wishes to remain anonymous, says, to a certain extent, the staff at the hospital can be almost forgiven for being rude to patients: "The hospital is understaffed, so they are overworked and what does Du Plooy do about it? Hires old retired staff, how does that help the situation? It doesn't and the hospital is not helping our communities. We have unemployed qualified graduates and they are not hired."
