In a space of two months, this is October to November 2019, the Gauteng Department of Health has managed to save an estimated R10 million through mediation, this is excluding the possible legal costs and costs of acquiring medical experts, that could have been incurred through litigation in cases brought against the department if these cases were not mediated. The department says the mediation process has proven to be one of the most successful factors in reducing cases of medical negligence and by large reducing the Contingent Liability thus far. We chat about this with the Gauteng Health MEC, Dr. Bandile Masuku. For more news, visit sabcnews.com and also #SABCNews on Social Media.
