Masechaba Ndlovu sues hospital

Masechaba Ndlovu is currently in a legal battle with a hospital in Jo-Burg.

This was after she had an altercation with the staff in the hospital.

It all started when her child was rushed to the hospital for a medical emergency.

Explaining the situation this is what her lawyer had to say;

Our client’s minor child was rushed to Sandton Clinic recently for emergency medical treatment. The minor child was admitted to high care and was not in a particularly stable condition. Our client was obviously with her child at the point of admission into Sandton Clinic and remained there until late that evening, following a minor altercation with the hospital staff,” the lawyer said.

Masechaba requested, and was granted, permission to stay overnight with her child.

This is not a normal procedure and the staff member who granted the permission failed to relay the information to the staff members who took the next shift.

The staff on the new shift then forbade Masechaba from spending the night, which resulted in the altercation.

“Obviously, our client understands that there are certain protocols in operation at the facility, which are designed for safety and wellbeing of all high-care patients, but she was treated appallingly by the staff at the shift change and felt aggrieved because of their lack of courtesy and confrontational approach to the whole situation,” her lawyer said.
