Provincial Government<br />
One of the beneficiaries and the first-ever patient to receive a<br />
heart operation in the province is Mr Sarel de Beer who presented<br />
to the surgical department at Tshepong Hospital with a threatened<br />
limb due to an embolic phenomenon. He needed open-heart<br />
surgery for an atrial myxoma, which is a benign growth within one<br />
of the chambers of the heart. The patient was taken to Rustenburg<br />
and successfully operated on.<br />
"This success is testimony to the fact that the province has<br />
managed to recruit and retain the best specialists. We will continue<br />
to work hard to retain them, recruit more and address the chronic<br />
challenge of health professionals especially the specialists," said<br />
<strong>North</strong> <strong>West</strong> MEC for Health, Dr Magome Masike.<br />
Dr Masike recently said that the province will continue to<br />
improve access to health care<br />
services and ensure that the<br />
historically disadvantaged<br />
population benefit. “Our people<br />
deserve the best. Quality<br />
specialised tertiary services<br />
must reach all our people. We<br />
will continue to work tirelessly<br />
to ensure that all specialised<br />
services which were previously<br />
not available to our province<br />
are accessible to our people,”<br />
said Dr Masike.<br />
