Gauteng’s public healthcare system is facing intense scrutiny following the revelation that 7,386 Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) were recorded in its hospitals between 1 April 2024, and 31 March 2025. – Times Live (14 November 2025)
“Despite the thousands of cases involving patient harm and even death, the Department confirmed that only 55 disciplinary actions were taken against implicated staff during the same period, raising serious questions about accountability.”
The good news is that Gauteng Health reported a decrease in civil lawsuit clams from R18bn to less than R7bn in the current financial year.
