FAQsQ: I underwent major surgery at a private hospital and as a result have suffered many complications as a result of, in my opinion, the action of my doctor. What can I do about this situation? Doctors working at private hospitals are in private practise and are not employed by the hospital. Although private hospitals want the best surgeons possible working at their hospitals, they cannot be held responsible for the actions the doctors. Doctors in private practise are legally and professionally responsible for their own actions. If you believe that the doctor acted negligently or unethically, you can ask the Registrar of the Health Professional Council to investigate the action of the doctor. You could also contact a lawyer to determine whether you could bring a civil action against the doctor. |
The South African Nurse In The Global Village01 October 2007 South African nurses have been sought after internationally for decades due to our high standards of theory and practice. South Africa was the first country in the world to legislate nurse training and practice, thereby setting, maintaining and controlling standards. Every nursing course was centrally examined and registered, enrolled or certificated by the S.A. Nursing Council as a quality control measure. This also served as an international “branding of the product.” - Trudy Petersen: Group Nursing Coordinator – Life Path Health Group. (R.N., R.M., D.P.N., D.C.H.N., D.N.E., D.N.A., Adv.D.P.N.)
