Health workers are the most cruel lot ever - PS

This special tag of identification was the sum and total of remarks by the deputy permanent secretary in the Ministry of Health, Dr Kolaatamo Malefhom while on a visit to the Selebi-Phikwe Government Hospital this week.

Addressing hospital staff, Dr Malefho said health workers did not have respect for patients and treated them as cases. "The President of Botswana has added a fifth 'D' for Delivery to his road map," he said. "Members of the public are complaining that civil servants are not delivering and that has to change."
