Healthcare services will continue to feel the effects of the recent riots, violence and looting in KwaZulu-Natal and some parts of Gauteng even as efforts to rebuild begin.

“The winter months and school holiday periods are typically challenging for us in terms of collections. The added pressures of the third wave and level four lockdown have also kept us out of corporates, where a substantial amount of our blood is collected. The support of our donors has fortunately allowed us to maintain sufficient blood stocks.

“The lockdown has socioeconomic implications and the vaccination programme is critical for achieving population immunity and economic recovery. Delays in vaccination will render more people prone to severe Covid-19 disease, putting additional strain on the health system.” Savy Mafindo Matimura, 54, and Tendai Matimura, 62, who live in Hyde Park, could not collect their chronic medication at Edenvale Hospital. Savy has high blood pressure, and her husband, Tendai, is asthmatic.“When we were near Alexandra, there was smoke all over and people running up and down. Cars were hooting. I decided to come back because there was no way to get to Edenvale Hospital.”

“I am not that happy because I have days I didn’t take medication. I have to take it every single day, [as does] my husband.”
