Downscale operations regardless – SWADNU

MBABANE – The Swaziland Democratic Nurses Union (SWADNU) maintains that the presence of drugs found by Health Minister Mduduzi Matsebula at Mbabane Government Hospital does not negate the need for emergency measures.

SWADNU Secretary General Mayibongwe Masangane asserted that certain medical operations cannot proceed without a full complement of drugs and medical supplies. He was responding to enquiries from this newspaper regarding whether medical professionals still stood by their resolution to downscale operations at the hospital.

“We still stand by that resolution. If we downscale the operations, we will be able to offer fair service to the selected number of patients that will come to the facility,” Masangane stated.
