Editorial

Abstract

Every time I write the editorial, we seem to have something exciting happening in our country. Last time, we had just won the rugby world cup…again! This time, for the first time in over 30 years, we appear to have a very different government about to be formulated after our recent elections. We are all hoping that the proposed government of national unity will bring positive changes to our ailing economy. Our economy has deteriorated to levels that have recently necessitated budget cuts in our healthcare sector that have never been seen before, with posts being frozen for all forms of healthcare professionals. This has put enormous strain on those that remain in the system. Let’s hope that the makeup of the new government results in positive changes for the healthcare sector and the country as a whole.
