Denosa has condemned Health Minister Dr Aaron Motsoaledi's announcement to recruit only 200 nurses as 'shockingly inadequate' amid a national nursing shortage crisis where projections indicate South Africa could be short 100,000 nurses by 2030.
President Ramaphosa highlights the paradoxical healthcare crisis where South African nurses are increasingly recruited abroad while 20,000 remain unemployed at home, threatening the country's already strained healthcare system and future NHI implementation.
The post has garnered mixed reactions on social media, with some netizens saying the nurse is xenophobic while others proclaim their support for her.
All of the nurse's alleged victims are black, fuelling speculation of medical racism and sparking outrage among netizens.
