The Democratic Alliance in Gauteng will hold a media briefing outside Wits University over high death rates linked to heart surgeries at Charlotte Maxeke Hospital. The Cardiothoracic Department, run jointly by Wits Medical School and the Gauteng Health Department, faces scrutiny over mortality and morbidity allegations.
