We are not in trouble - BLH boss

Mmegi paid a visit to the hospital following complaints that patients hospitalised at the hospital were receiving extremely rationed meals. A number of patients, both male and female interviewed said that the hospital abided by the times for meals, but that suddenly the food was much less than what they have been getting. The situation, according to some staff members who spoke on condition of anonymity was due to the fact all other services from government to the hospital were being rationed.

"We are told that owing to the financial crisis, government has instead of increasing its assistance to the hospital, decreased, even though patient volumes have increased and staff numbers have gone up," said a staff member who spoke on condition of anonymity.
