The North West Department of Health launched a preliminary investigation into the allegations of serious misconduct against hospital management. The investigation at MPH is part of a multiphased approach adopted by the department to resolve the challenges experienced at the hospital. MEC Madoda Sambatha emphasized that the precautionary suspension of two officials was not meant to be punitive but to ensure the investigation could proceed without hindrance. As a result, five members of the MPH management have been temporarily relocated to nearby facilities.
