The assurances given by the assembled officials to address the matters canvassed in the open letter are cautiously welcomed, despite the absence of any official commitment to specific demands. If ever any validation of the contents of the open letter was required, we commend to you this massive endorsement. Health professionals and health workers are the lifeblood of the public health system. We are beholden to the people to whom we have sworn an oath, not to a disinterested and often callous administration, so listen to us when we advocate for our patients. The views of columnists published on News24 are therefore their own and do not necessarily represent the views of News24.
