We have a crisis that is forcing us to fill all the gaps we can find, in terms of infrastructure, staff, management. We must ensure people find the services capable of dealing with an influx of patients.#ECVisit11June #COVID19SouthAfrica
We must continue treatment for diabetes, TB, heart disease and mental health. These were present before #COVID19 & will be there afterwards too. #ECVisit11June #COVID19SouthAfrica

@News24 published an article yesterday, 18 March 2020, titled-Information Squeeze: Covid-19 scientists, experts in SA silenced as government centralises communication. We have received numerous questions from concerned members of the public regarding the content of the article.
