Johannesburg - Budget cuts and the shortage of specialist nurses have left some of the countryâs hospitals with hundreds of unfilled critical posts.
Health Minister Zweli Mkhize has blamed these two factors for the high number of vacant posts at the Dr George Mukhari Academic Hospital in Ga-Rankuwa, Pretoria.
There were 544 vacancies at the George Mukhari Hospital, and 357 of these were for nursing professionals and clinical professionals.
A further 79 posts were for health professionals such as dietitians, medical technologists, radiographers and respiratory therapists.
