Madlala-Routledge lying - MEC Ntshona in trouble about record Hospital boss a 'fraudster' Nozizwe: Mbeki breaks silence Grace, humour for Nozizwe 'I was just doing my job' DA: Frere report a whitewash

Cape Town - A doctor who supported former deputy health minister Nozizwe Madlala-Routledge's view that the health situation at Frere Hospital constituted a crisis, has been suspended.

Dr Nokuzola Ntshona on Tuesday confirmed to Sapa that Luvuyo Mosana, the CEO of the East London Hospital Complex which includes Frere and Cecilia Makiwane Hospitals, had suspended her on Monday.

"He said I was being suspended for talking to the media," she said.

Ntshona, who at one stage wrote a letter to President Thabo Mbeki highlighting the dire situation at the hospital, said she was surprised by the reason given for her suspension.

"It was he, Mosana, who ordered me to make a presentation to the National Assembly's health committee during its visit to the hospital last week.

"I never invited those journalist who reported on my presentation, they came with the committee," she said.
