#PANADOS

As it is always done that the nearby industries build facilities to the community as if they are giving back to the community.

Vosman has a new clinic that have been opened some months back. Vosman is situated in the Highveld region of Mpumalanga Province under Emalahleni Local Municipality.

This happened in order the big industries can escape SARS, they just build a clinic without communicating with the government Department of Health and now the clinic is not operating according to the will of the community.

The people of Vosman as there is shortage of staff no Doctor’s came to see patients. One of patient says this clinic has no dispensary the nurses are using the cabinet in the consulting room as the storage for panados. It is operating from 07h00 till 16h00.There is no labor ward and no oxygen for those who have asthma.

The government has been failing to build a clinic until one polluting industry decided to give back to the community by building a clinic called Sinqobile community health care.

The Department Of Health and the company have to come up with plan B so that the clinic can be regarded as a real health care rather than been called Panado clinic.
