National Department Of Health — Local services in Gauteng

BE WARNED!!

The Tender process is tedious and payment is non-existent, as they promise to pay you within 7 days on "date of delivery", and days later you are still sent from pillar to post or told lies just to delay the payment process.

I don't blame staff at the hospitals and clinics, as this is the responsibility of the MEC and his/her office to issue relevant directive to the institutions. I have noticed that this KZN department is very slow (and maybe lazy) in implementing directives and disseminating information to its outlets.

I had visited the Ngwelezane Clinic with a sick child.
