Abstract

THOMAS, T et al. Challenges around COVID-19 at a tertiary-level healthcare facility in South Africa and strategies implemented for improvement. SAMJ, S. Afr. med. j. [online]. 2020, vol.110, n.9. ISSN 2078-5135.  http://dx.doi.org/10.7196/samj.2020.v110i10.15143.

SARS-CoV-2 has resulted in a global pandemic within months following its initial detection. South Africa (SA), like many other countries, was not prepared for the impact this novel infection would have on the healthcare system. In this paper, the authors discuss the challenges experienced while facing COVID-19 at a tertiary-level institution in Gauteng province, SA, and the dynamic strategies implemented to deal with the epidemic.
