Private hospitals in Gauteng and KwaZulu-Natal are still open but under pressure, two of South Africa’s big private healthcare providers confirmed on Monday.
“We can confirm that we have closed vaccination sites at KZN Life Healthcare hospitals until further notice.” Gauteng has been hard hit by a massive third wave of Covid-19 infections, and KwaZulu-Natal was identified last week as one of the provinces with the fastest-growing number of cases. “The team… had to use Mfezi, our armoured ambulance, in responding to calls last night to transfer patients and staff. We plead with communities to stop attacks on paramedics and EMS vehicles so we can render services to those in urgent need of medical attention.”
In Howick, an ambulance was burnt on Sunday night, while another was attacked with rocks in Mariannhill.
