Durban - KwaZulu-Natal health MEC Dr Sibongiseni Dhlomo has issued an ultimatum to striking doctors, calling on them to return to work on Friday or face the music.
Addressing the media in Durban on Friday, Dhlomo said notices had been sent to all hospitals calling on all striking doctors, dentists and pharmacists to resume their duties no later than 08:00.
The department was also preparing a court interdict to force the striking health professionals to end the strike, he said.
“We as the department of health are designated as an essential service provider and therefore find the action of these health professionals [is] disrupting service delivery and compromising patients' lives,” said Dhlomo.
He said the department had been more than reasonable in dealing with the unprotected strike.
“This situation is untenable, we cannot continue to put the lives of our people in danger and the government will act,” he said.
Dhlomo said people had died due to the unavailability of doctors, although he was unable give the number of people who died as a result of the strike.

Question: What are you going to do if you have to fire them all?
Die wondering why you are dieing?/
Ultimatum.
Or else... what?
Sounds like the Hitler mentality.
Governments around the world are becoming silly dictators only to really be parasites on the populations.
Like these are shovel ready occupations. Its not easy to get more skilled professionals at the employment office.

Well we could let those who take the Civil Service Exam become doctors and nurses. We are not going to be offering any state of the art testing anymore nor are we going to be doing heart surgeries or hip or knee replacements. Just plain old care like your great grandma use to do. So no need for hospitals or medical schools. Old wives remedies will be offered as the gospel of Obamacare. (Except for his family and those in Congress and the unions)
