Charlotte Maxeke Johannesburg Hospital
Mistreatment of a Patient

My mother had just suffered a serious stroke attack on the 16th March 2013 we then rushed her to Helen Joseph where she was subsequently transferred to Charlotte Mxenge Hospital for aneurysm surgery on that day. The surgery was perfomed by Dr Ouma at Charlotte Mxenge on the 18th and she was in a critical condition in ward 565 since then up till on the 28th Thursday morning when my brother called the hospital and was told she has been transferred without a valid reason to Helen Joseph.

In her critical condition I found her in a "left to die" state. When I inquired with the nurses at Ward 12 at Helen Joseph, I was shocked to hear that she was "just brought here, we did not know what was wrong with her, the patient was not received by any particular person/doctor, we had to call Charlotte Mxenge Hospital to obtain patient details, we do not know who treated her and for what, we had to get a doctor to take over without knowledge of the patient's condition." We need to find out why she was transferred to Helen Joseph when she was in a critical state and why we were never informed and why was she left there without proper handover to Helen Joseph by Charlotte Mxenge.
