Shortage of ventilatos looms at hospitals

As concerns grow over the rapid spread of COVID-19, the South African Medical Association has confirmed a lack of ventilators is among issues putting doctors under stress. Dr Irene Boeddinghaus, an oncologist at Life Vincent Pallotti Hospital in Cape Town, says patients are far sicker than during the first wave. She says ICU bed availability is a problem and that many doctors and nurses are burnt out or sick. She speaks to Jeremy Maggs on Monday Lunch Time. Courtesy #DStv403
