A legislative report has exposed severe operational failures and neglect at Mafikeng Provincial Hospital, prompting the Public Servants Association to demand immediate government intervention. The union described conditions at the facility as a constitutional breach, citing critical equipment failures, hazardous sanitation, and dangerous staff shortages that compromise patient safety.

The findings indicate that systemic underfunding and poor management have crippled the hospital's ability to provide basic care. With a budget exceeding R800 million, the facility nevertheless suffers from outdated tools, overflowing wards, and demoralized employees. The association is calling for the Minister of Health and the Provincial Health MEC to provide a clear turnaround strategy.

It further insists on the appointment of a permanent, qualified hospital CEO and an independent investigation into the management of the institution. The union warns that this situation reflects a broader collapse of healthcare services within the North West province.
