38 Dora Nginza doctors warn of 'unacceptable risk' in obstetrics after mother's death

Thirty-eight doctors at Dora Nginza Hospital in Gqeberha issued a collective warning that their obstetrics and gynaecology department poses an 'unacceptable risk' to patients, citing failing electrical infrastructure, broken resuscitation equipment, staff shortages, and cancelled operations. The warning follows a mother's death, though the letter's direct link to that death is not specified. This signals a systemic failure in a public health facility, potentially affecting maternal and neonatal outcomes in the region.
