Marina never contacted family of neglected patient

A visitor to Marina, Gontle Kwelo blew the whistle via Facebook after he saw the patient being ignored by nurses as he kicked and struggled for breath before falling head down from his bed. Kwelo, with the help of five security guards who were sent to chase him away, helped the patient back to bed before a doctor certified him dead few minutes later.

On Thursday, members of the bereaved family told The Monitor in Gabane that they are disappointed with the hospital management who failed to deal with the negligence of their staff.
