On Monday afternoon Sharon Waison of Fourways undergoes an emergency procedure to unblock the dialysis port in her groin so that she can have the dialysis she desperately needs to stay alive.
More than 50 Health Squared members undergoing dialysis will have their treatment and medication covered by the close-to-insolvent scheme until the end of this month or until they join another scheme, the Joburg high court ruled at the weekend.
Health Squared advised late on Wednesday that it will continue honouring patients' accounts in hospital after August 31, with the proviso that the scheme would need daily updates of the status of the patients in ICU or high care and every second day for general ward patients.
