The GCN recently received a complaint from an Elsburg resident, who wishes to remain anonymous.<\/p>\n

The resident told the GCN that she recently went to the Elsburg Clinic for a blood pressure check-up as she does not have transport to go to a hospital.<\/p>

<\/div>\n

The nurses helped her friend, but they showed her away and told her to go to a hospital for medical treatment as they could not assist her at the clinic.<\/p>\n

The GCN contacted the metro to enquire about the service customers are receiving at the Elsburg Clinic.<\/p>

<\/div>\n

The metro confirmed that the resident is known to staff of the Elsburg Clinic, where she has consulted nursing personnel and a medical officer.<\/p>\n

Due to the nature of her condition and the referral by the medical officer, the complainant needs to attend a hospital, as her condition is outside the scope of the primary health care level.<\/p>\n

Themba Gadebe, spokesman for the metro, responded with the following statement:<\/p>\n

\u201cThe complainant urgently needs treatment that is offered only at a hospital and not at the Elsburg Clinic.\u201d<\/p>\n
