Cape Argus reports that more than a hundred doctors across the country who have completed their community service at state facilities are unemployed and in dire need of being placed at health care centres.
The SA Medical Association (Sama) says it is in possession of a list of 130 names of post-community service medical officers who have not been able to secure employment for this year. One Durban-based doctor said that at least two hospitals had shown interest in him, but the head of department at one the hospitals had told him that posts were being frozen. But Health Minister Aaron Motsoaledi’s spokesman denied that posts were being frozen and said instead that doctors were not taking up posts in areas where there was a need.
