A 30-year-old woman from Mpumalanga is suing the provincial department of health for R40 million for an alleged botched operation performed at the Witbank Provincial Hospital last year.
It is alleged that Thabile Choma suffered serious trauma and pain as a result of an operation.
Lawyer Mabu Marweshe from Marweshe Attorneys said on 21 November last year, Choma, who was pregnant at the time, was admitted at the hospital.
"During the very same day due to high blood pressure, the medical staff at the hospital decided to conduct an emergency operation on our client to make sure that her baby is delivered as soon as possible.
