At the E48 area in GSH OMB, 4th year clinical students and their
clinic educators have been subjected to an environment that has
prevented them from continuing to practice safely.
On site, a significant number of dead cockroaches were found
indicating that no cleaning has been taking place for some time. This
makes it hard for infection control measures on the part of students and
educators to be of any worth.
Students cannot continue with their clinical activities in this
environment and this will impact on their studies. Considering the
current covid-19 pandemic and the impact that it has already had on
academics, we cannot afford any more disruptions to the learning of
students.
We ask that sustainable measures be put in place to ensure that
students can continue practicing in an environment that is safe to do
so.
The E48 clinical area has not been cleaned since the day we have arrived 14/07/2020 until now 21/07/2020.
