Limpopo doctor accused of attempted rape of patient

The Limpopo Health Department is investigating – in tandem with a police inquiry – after a doctor allegedly attempted to rape a patient at George Masebe Hospital at the weekend.

The incident apparently happened in the early hours on Sunday in the sonar room during an abdominal ultrasound on the pregnant patient, reports TimesLIVE.

Health MEC Dieketseng Mashego said the department had pledged to co-operate fully with law enforcement agencies and that in addition to supporting the SAPS inquiry, it had initiated an internal investigation.
