Born mentally and physically handicapped, Nomfundo Skhosana has irreversible brain damage, is blind, partially deaf and will remain totally dependent on others for the rest of her life, reports [s]The Mercury[/s]. Her mother, Bonakele Skhosana, who is suing the MEC for Health for R9.8m, claims her condition is because of medical negligence at the [b]Newtown C Clinic[/b] and [b]Mahatma Gandhi Hospital[/b]. The department conceded liability last week, agreeing to pay 90% of the proven damages, which will be determined after further court action next year.
