TYGERBERG HOSPITAL: BUCKLING UNDER THE BURDEN
Covid regulations flouted DESIRÉE RORKE @dezzierorke
A
s the second wave of Covid-19 crushes over Cape Town, the trauma unit at Tygerberg Hospital seems to be buckling under the burden.
A reliable and authoritative source divulged to TygerBurger that the trauma unit was flooded with patients last weekend, while Covid-19 health regulations were flouted. The identity of the source, known to TygerBurger, is being protected. “There was simply not enough space for
all the patients. Patients, lying in trollies and others propped up in chairs very close to each other, were lining up in the waiting area. “Little to no Covid-19 screenings were done and patients that should have been in the patient unit investigation area for Covid-
19 were not. “All systems failed, and patients could not even be properly triaged,” the source said. Triage systems are methods that systematically prioritise patients’ treatment according to how urgent they need care. V To page 2
