Some hospitals in South Africa are turning away a lot of patients infected with covid-19 due to the lack of equipment and medical staffs.

Dr. Tobisa Fodo, a worker at the intensive care unit of Port Elizabeth-South Africa was able to accept only a quarter of the people seeking treatment.

”It’s heartbreaking in the sense that you end up yourself and your team having to say no to somebody’s mother, somebody’s grandmother, somebody’s father, somebody’s uncle,” Fodo said. He added that a lot of covid 19 patients are dying in South Africa without getting medical treatment.

We hope the government of South Africa will lay intensive measures in curbing the situation. Video from Africa news below
