Bloemfontein - A Free State man has blamed Bloemfontein's Pelonomi Hospital for the death of his mother, who died last Thursday, three months after being admitted to the hospital with a broken leg.
Hendrik van Heerden, 38, told Netwerk24's Marietjie Gericke that he had visited his mother every day for the last three months, and had begged doctors, nursing staff and hospital management to save her.
Kathlene van Heerden, 61, fell and broke her leg just after Christmas. She did not have medical aid and was admitted to Pelonomi, where she waited six weeks for surgery.
