Seeking answers
I am an ex-serving member of the South African Navy and was surprised to read about the agreement on making military hospitals open to civilians.
As a member of the Defence Force Medical Continuation Fund, I am concerned, as I do not know how this will affect me and other members of the fund.
At the moment, it takes three weeks to see a doctor at Simon’s Town Medical Centre. I have osteoarthritis and must wait until November before I can get an appointment to see an orthopaedic surgeon. Will serving and ex-serving members have to wait in the queue with civilians to see a doctor? What happens if I decide to go to a state hospital?
There are many more questions that need to be answered. It would be appreciated if the state medical and SANDF medical services could publish the terms of this agreement and the full details of how it will operate.
