A hospital laundry contract was awarded to a South African company caught drying garments in the open air — ignoring infection control measures, according to an article on the City Press website.
The Limpopo Health department is hoping to use the company’s poor performance to terminate the contracts.
City Press first reported on Mphefhedzi Business Enterprises in August last year after coming across hospital laundry including linen and gowns hung in the open air on makeshift washing lines, while other items had blown off the line and were lying among piles of dirt and garbage.
An investigation has since been revealed that the contracts were awarded “irregularly.”
