Man Exposes Tembisa Hospital Filthy Ward and Patients Sleeping on the Floor, Video Sparks Social Media Outcry

• A man took his relative that needed medical attention to Tembisa hospital and was shocked by the poor conditions and service
• He recorded a ward that was covered in litter and some patients were sleeping on the dirty floor
• Mzansi social media users expressed their disappointment in the comments section after seeing the TikTok clip

A man with the handle @jubs85 posted a damning TikTok video of Tembisa Hospital and its poor healthcare service on Thursday.

The clip exposed sick patients struggling on their own and with no nurse or doctor in sight. Some patients were sleeping on the unclean floor, with rubbish everywhere.

The beds were not neatly arranged, and the ward looked like it had been abandoned for some time.

The man urged the community, the councillor and Health MEC to join in improving services at the hospital.
