Gauteng Department of Health has resolved the matter of shortage of toilet paper at Tembisa Hospital in Ekurhuleni.
Contrary to media reports, the challenge was not caused by department’s inability to pay suppliers but a company contracted to deliver toilet paper to the hospital could not meet the demand.
Another company has since been contracted and they delivered sufficient stock last Friday afternoon and these have been distributed to all service areas in the hospital.
The department apologises for any inconvenience caused but assures the community that healthcare of patients was not compromised during this period.
