VEREENIGING - The Gauteng Department of Health says the recruitment process is currently under way to fill critical positions in the province’s hospitals. This includes vacant positions at the Kopanong Hospital in Vereeniging, Vaal Triangle. The department’s spokesperson, Motalatale Modiba, said the vacancies are due to people resigning, finding better positions or retirement. Steve Biko Academic Hospital, Dr George Mukhari Academic Hospital, Rahima Moosa Mother and Child Hospital, Kopanong Hospital, South Rand Hospital and the Tara Mouros Hospital have no permanent heads. CEOs at Tembisa hospital and the Pretoria West Hospital are currently suspended pending disciplinary hearings.
