The latest statistics show that 511 SA healthcare workers have tested positive for Covid-19, with at least 149 having recovered, 26 hospitalised & two sadly having lost their lives. It’s vital that we protect our health workers #level4lockdown

Exactly a year ago, we @ZinebBentounsi @gustafdrevin @LindaPohlSmith @JoshNgKamstra published "Global Surgery doesn’t belong to the English Language" on the @GlobalHealthBMJ Blog.

Today, the message rings ever so true for the surge of #COVID19 research.

[ON AIR] The U.K. and the U.S. are looking to recruit nurses from middle income countries like South Africa in order to strengthen their response to #Covid_19. Joining @JohnPerlman to discuss this are Prof Salome Maswime and Dr @sthembete.

Appealing for the health workforce from low- and middle-income countries to not be exploited during this pandemic with incentives and expedited visas. We have a greater need for a strong medical workforce. https://t.co/vvdL8Q80V2
