Following a random inspection by the Health Professions Council of SA at a Gauteng practice, a non-registered locum was arrested while her medical practitioner employee will face disciplinary proceedings for unprofessional conduct.
A medical doctor is in hot water after she was caught for allegedly employing a Congolese unregistered doctor as a locum, reports World News. HPCSA spokesperson, Priscilla Sekhonyana, said they conducted a random inspection at the Roodepoort surgery of Dr Dieketseng Portia Moloi.
“During the inspection, it was found that Moloi, who is a registered healthcare practitioner, had employed an unregistered person, Stella Lenga Yoto, from Congo, as a locum at her practice.
“Yoto was found practising as a medical practitioner, whilst not registered as such with the council. Yoto was arrested and detained at the Roodepoort SAPS and appeared in court for her bail application.”
Moloi would face a disciplinary process for unprofessional conduct.
