Health minister Aaron Motsoaledi addressing the media

The plight of the public strike had left the country crippled on Friday August 20. The minister stepped with his team of qualified health workers, pharmacists, doctors and nurses to help struggling hospitals.
He even volunteered to help doctors at the casualty ward at Baragwanath Hospital.  He was pictured here telling the media that he's been out of practice for 16 years but medical procedures were still fresh in his memory. No resolution has been found as the strike still continues.
