Tembisa Hospital CEO removed following ongoing complaints
Dr Daisy Pekane had been placed on special leave with immediate effect
Ongoing complaints about the poor service rendered at Tembisa Hospital urged the Gauteng health MEC, Qedani Mahlangu, to place the chief executive of the Hospital on special leave.
Dr Daisy Pekane had been placed on special leave with immediate effect after Mahlangu paid a surprise visit to the hospital on Wednesday, the Gauteng health department said.
The visit came about following a string of complaints that had been received by the health department from staff and members of the public.
It was not revealed in a statement what the nature of the complaints were and whether an investigation was underway.
The acting chief executive appointed to replace Pekane is Dr Barbara-Ann Ribeiro, a former clinical manager at Steve Biko Academic Hospital.
The CEO of Tembisa Hospital, Dr Daisy Pekane, has been placed on special leave.
