Man dies after 12-hour wait at Natalspruit!
IT ALL STARTED in Katlehong township, in the City of Ekurhuleni, when Mabuya began struggling to walk on Friday 27 March.
ABOUT THE VAAL RIVER CITY HYDROPOLIS

• Via this Corridor we will continue to support the Gauteng Highlands Development; a mixed-use R40-billion investment made up of industrial and residential space that is aimed at creating. • 25 000 direct and indirect jobs.
The development will:
•Capture the historical legacy of our country, through cultural themes, historical artwork, cultural sites and architecture that represents this history. • Actualise the concept of a River City and its excellent location. • Offer a lifestyle experience near the water through bird parks, vast walkways and picnic spots that are accessible to all. • Provide a unique residential and commercial development, with road infrastructure and investment that will capture economic value. • Create a large infrastructure development that will stimulate economic activity
His wife, Nosiphiwe Malangabi, took him to a nearby clinic, which then called for an ambulance to rush Mabuya to Natalspruit Hospital. At the hospital, casualty ward staff diagnosed him with bacterial meningitis, or a swelling of the tissue surrounding the brain and spinal cord caused by an infection. Bacterial meningitis is a serious condition and can leave patients with complications including brain damage and hearing loss. About two hours later when Mabuya’s family left, he had still
not been allocated a bed and was being treated on a gurney in a hospital corridor. According to Malangabi, when the family returned hours later, Mabuya was still being treated in a corridor.

When the family questioned the state of the intravenous drip as well as why he was lying in a corridor instead of in a ward, Malangabi alleges that a verbal argument ensued between the family and a matron. Malangabi now alleges that poor care by hospital staff contributed to her husband’s death about a day later on 29 March.
Is there a place for dagga in medicine?
“If the right procedures were followed and my husband was attended I believe he would still be alive,” she told OurHealth.

Is there a place for dagga in medicine? BY Wilma Stassen (Health-e News)
THE legalisation of medical marijuana came under the spotlight again after the late Inkatha Freedom Party MP Mario OrianiAmbrosini’s “Medical Innovation Bill” was revived in parliament recently.
“All medicines, be it alternative medicines or herbs, have side effects.” Common side effects of cannabis are an increase heart beat, a drop in blood pressure, blood-shot eyes, loss of motivation, anxiety and impaired cognitive functioning, among others.
The Bill relapsed when its sponsor, Ambrosini, died on August 16, 2014. He took his own life after battling with late-stage lung cancer for more than a year. He admitted to using marijuana for medicinal purposes to treat his cancer when he first proposed the bill to parliament in February 2014.
Puff, pass & regulate
Despite the side effects, Muller believes that dagga could be used in medicine as long as it is strictly regulated to avoid abuse of the substance. This includes controlling the production and processing of marijuana, which involves extracting the active ingredient from the plant and dispensing it at predetermined doses.
“Cannabis has been proven to have some medicinal qualities and medical marijuana is used commercially in several countries to treat certain ailments.” The bill calls for the immediate establishment of a medical centre where at least 100 patients can be legally treated with medical marijuana, a treatment Ambrosini described as “effective and harmless”.
The cannabis plant has more than 100 active ingredients of which only one, 9-tetrahydrocannabinol, or THC, is used in the production of medical marijuana. THC has a potent effect on the central nervous system and is also the chemical that causes euphoria, which is responsible for it being abused as a recreational drug. “The medical benefits of cannabis have been overhyped and is a smokescreen to try and decriminalise dagga”
But some experts disagree with this statement. “People tend to think that natural substances have no side effects and are safe – but there is nothing further from the truth,” says Dr Gerbus Muller, a clinical pharmacologist and toxicologist, and a former lecturer at Stellenbosch University’s Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences.

He added that Natalspruit Hospital was not alone in bed shortages. “Due to an increase in medical patient volumes resulting from a fastchanging disease burden, the whole public health system experiences shortages of beds as patients require admission instead of being treated as outpatients,” he told OurHealth. “To address this challenge, hospital management has moved the admission ward to a bigger ward,” added Hamca, say-
