Which measures have been put in place to ensure effective waste management in the Dr George Mukhari Academic Hospital in Ga-Rankuwa, where waste has piled up and poses a health risk?
Reply:
According to the Gauteng Department of Health, the problem with the former service provider was resolved through the appointment of another service provider who ensured that the collection of medical waste is done in line with the Service Level Agreement, and the hospital also confirmed that they have never experienced similar problems since the appointment of the new service provider.
