Private hospitals have issued fresh guidelines on how patients can navigate a planned suspension of Social Health Authority (SHA) services from Monday, February 24.
In a press conference on Sunday, Rural and Urban Private Hospitals Association (RUPHA) Chairperson Brian Lishenga revealed SHA services are set to continue for select patients, who will be unaffected by the suspension of services.
Patients who had been admitted to private hospitals offering SHA services prior to the start of February 24 should still be able to receive treatment, according to Lishenga.
Similarly, the RUPHA chairperson clarified that emergency services are set to continue at private institutions.
