I'm not sure that this will be the case in SA. If the calloussness and laxity of staff in state hospitals are used as indication, I would think not. Add to that a government in general and a Ministery and Department of Health in particular that tolerate no criticism and our situation looks rather hopeless. I'm sorry if I sound totally pessimistic today, maybe I'll feel better tomorrow!
