South Africa: After Long Wait for Anaesthetics, Water Shortages Still Halt Dental Care At North West Clinic

Patients at the Itsoseng Community Health Centre, located within the Ditsobotla Local Municipality in South Africa's North West province, experienced months of delays in receiving dental care due to a shortage of anaesthetics.

Although the necessary medical stock has recently been replenished, ongoing disruptions have continued. An intermittent water supply at the facility has prevented healthcare workers from performing certain dental procedures, leaving the delivery of care still stalled.
