The Democratic Nursing Organisation of South Africa (DENOSA) has called on the authorities to ensure that justice is served in the case of two doctors and six nurses accused of attempted murder, fraud, and selling human organs.

They allegedly harvested organs from unsuspecting patients during surgeries for profit.

The accused appeared in the High Court in Gqeberha in the Eastern Cape yesterday.

DENOSA provincial chairperson, Vuyolwethu Nodlawu, says the health system needs to be restored.

“The NPA (National Prosecuting Authority) and the justice system throughout have to attend to this case, we want to see justice prevail. We want to restore people to the healthcare system. So, we call upon the government and the justice system to dig deeper and strengthen our health system, including the legislation fragment because you’ll find that those that have been brought to book, many tend to run away. So that is what we are advocating for while we are looking into the matter, and we are going to follow it precisely.”
