Nursing malpractice: Not the end of the world as we know it

Abstract

I look forward to reading the study by Professor Stellenberg at Stellenbosch University’s Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences.

The heading of that statement refers to civil claims against private hospitals sky rocketing due to nursing malpractice. One hundred and twenty-two completed cases were studied, not a particularly large number bearing in mind the thousands of patients successfully treated each day in private hospitals around the country.
