Changes to overtime pay causes Gauteng state doctors to gear up for health department fight

--:--
Trade unions, medical associations and universities are raising the alarm that
Gauteng budget cuts at the cost of doctors’ take-home pay will have dire
consequences for public sector health. Meanwhile, the National Minister of Health
has convened a committee to review the future of overtime for state doctors.
Dysfunction in the Gauteng Department of Health hit home hard for many public
sector doctors on 29 April when their overtime payments due for the month went
unpaid. Phemelo speaks to the South African Medical Association CEO Dr
Mzulungile Nodikida.
