For all the doctors and family/friends of patients in public sector hospitals in 🇿🇦we are not treating severe #COVID19 patients with #Ivermectin. It does not form part of our national guidelines & the evidence base for that conclusion can be read 👉health.gov.za/wp-content/upl… 1/n 
That evidence-base is regularly updated and if evidence comes to light of significant benefit from reliable, well-conducted randomised clinical trials, then incorporation would be considered. 2/n
We know that you only want the best for your loved ones, as do we, but we are giving the best evidence-based treatment that we have available. 3/n
Spending countless hours trying to explain why we are not using #Ivermectin for which robust, reliable evidence of benefit is currently not there (indeed, quite the opposite) is taking us away from giving those that you love & treasure, the care they need.
