HEALTHCARE: NURSES REWARDED FOR GOOD WORK

Harare nurse on top MBONGISENI MASEKO A Michael Mapongwana Day Hospital nurse’s dedication to her work paid off after she won a provincial award on Monday 10 November. Bukelwa Alicia Sibidla, an advanced psychiatric nurse at the Harare hospital, walked away as second runner-up for the Makiwane Nursing Recognition Award at a ceremony in Stellenbosch. The event, which saw 13 other nurses from across the province honoured, was organised by the provincial health department. It aimed to honour nurses for their valued contribution in the department. The 40-year-old always goes beyond her call of duty to ensure her patients get the best. She visits them at their homes to enquire about their needs, which includes generating funds to buy food and clothes for them. “I am honoured and very happy. I care about and love my patients; they always come first. I do not just inject them; I ensure that I restore their dignity and find help for them when I cannot help. I also ensure their rights are protected and I do not want them to be abused in any way,” Sibidla said. Sibidla has also forged a working relationship with local NGOs and schools to ensure that the living conditions of her patients are conducive. She said some patients default to use their treatment, because they do not have food and some are afraid of taking their ARVs simply because they are scared of disclosing their HIV status to their families. “It helps to have an understanding of everything about your patient. I listen and support my patients. I try to make a difference to them,” she added. Sibidla identified an unused space at the hospital and started a vegetable garden which now provides food for patients. The mother of three, originally from the Eastern Cape, brought about change at the hospital soon after starting to work there in 2004. Provincial health minister Theuns Botha said he was “very proud” of the hard work

The ratio of nursing staff versus patient numbers is not on par, which means we are struggling to have the desired impact on the burden of

disease in the province,” Botha said. “However, this trend is a global phenomenon. In addition, the Western Cape has a shortage of qualified, speciality professional nurses in all areas, which is why we encourage nurses to specialise.” The winners were nominated by their colleagues at their respective institutions.
