[ 📍IN PICTORIAL 📸] - PIXLEY KA SEME DISTRICT COMMEMORATES THE INTERNATIONAL NURSES DAY 🤍

The Department of Health in Pixley Ka Seme District took a moment to honor the dedication, commitment, and the excellence in patient care provided by our nurses — more than a job, it's a calling. The event opened with a powerful sermon by Sr Moses; the room was filled with joy as they sang proudly.

The Deputy Chairperson of DENOSA, Mr P. Jack unpacked the theme for 2026 “Our Nurses. Our Future. Empowered Nurses Save Lives.” This theme emphasizes that enabling nurses through support, safety, and leadership is vital to improving global health outcomes and strengthening healthcare systems.

Key focus areas include:

✨ Structural Empowerment
✨ Lifesaving Impact
✨ Shaping the Future
✨ Removing Barriers

The nurses recited the nurses pledge, led by Sr M. Olifant (District Nurses Manager) —affirming their dedication to patient care, and engage in a traditional candle-lighting ceremony in memory of Florence Nightingale.

Mr T Shushu (CEO of De Aar hospital) closed off with words of encouragement: “If you don’t stand for something, you will fall for everything.” A nurse responds to the call, you comfort and heal those that are in dire need.

To the all the nurses in our district: Thank you for your tireless dedication to our community's health. You are true frontline heroes, you are the light and we appreciate everything you do. 🫡

🚨

The Northern Cape Department of Health is aware of the below inaccurate allegations circulating social media regarding patient care. We confirm these claims are grossly unfounded and incorrect. We take patient satisfaction seriously and have conducted a a formal investigation to verify the allegations. There is no substantive evidence therefore the allegation is insubstantial. In addition, the investigation confirmed that standard clinical guidelines and protocols were strictly and correctly followed during the consultation with the patient.

We would like to request the community to clarify any concern before leaving the health facility to avoid allegations that have negative impact on staff that are trying their best to deliver services to the community.

We also invite any aggrieved individuals to utilize our official, internal grievance structures to resolve concerns directly. Our focus remains on delivering quality care.
