Question NW2687 to the Minister of Health
20 December 2021 - NW2687
Ismail, Ms H to ask the Minister of Health
Whether, with regard to the Nelson Mandela Fidel Castro Medical Collaboration Programme, there are currently any corruption charges against the specified programme; if not, what is the position in this regard; if so, what are the relevant details?
Reply:
There are no corruption charges that have been brought to my attention regarding the Nelson Mandela Fidela Castro Collaboration Programme.
However, when the National Department of Health conducted an internal audit and reconciliation with the Provinces on this Programme from October to December 2021, it was not conducted for the Gauteng Department of Health.
The details from the Gauteng Department of Health are that all files relating to the Nelson Mandela Fidel Castro Collaboration Programme have been taken by the Special Investigating Unit (SIU) for an investigation.
END.
