eNCA | Health unions, govt come to agreement on mortuary ‘strike’
PRETORIA – Health unions and the Gauteng government have reached a deal to end the ongoing strike by mortuary workers.
The public health bargaining council said the agreement was in principle for now.
Unions and the health department have put their heads together to try and end the strike in a bid to relieve the backlog at the province’s state mortuaries.
The National Education Health and Allied Workers Union (Nehawu) said it would only sign once workers had agreed to all the terms.
Mortuary staff downed tools two weeks ago, demanding better pay and recognition for out-of-scope work.
They insist they were not on strike, but are simply refusing to do work they are not contracted to do, like dissecting bodies.
Union leaders said cleaners, drivers and other untrained staff have been conducting post-mortems for years now.
The move resulted in bodies piling up, leaving bereaved families frustrated, and unable to bury their loved ones.
Public Health Bargaining Council’s Phumelelo Sibiya said that workers “don’t want to continue doing it but they want the employer to recognise the fact that they are performing those particular functions.”
Health Bargaining Council Chairperson Mahmood Fadal said, “The parties indicated by Friday they would conclude that process and once they sign, as you’ve indicated that unions were not in strike but working out of scope so it’s not going be complicated.”
Nehawu’s Thhegofatso Moralo said, “The employer will access the backlog and then if there’s a need for our members to perform overtime to deal with backlog that will be arranged with the employees and it will be an authorised overtime if employer feels that they need extra time to do that.”
The deal, if accepted by union members, will affect forensic pathology officers countrywide.

Health24.com | Hopes that cutting edge tech could see jump in bone marrow donors
Amid huge challenges in finding potential bone marrow donors, a major change in the testing process could prove to be the shot in the arm needed to identify the hundreds of thousands of donors required.
At the moment, the process to test for potential donors is pricey, and quite laborious – when someone signs up to be a donor on the South African Bone Marrow Registry (SABMR), they could potentially undergo two separate tests.
When testing to identify if a donor could be a match, laboratories would try to match three of the 11 loci (the proteins or markers attached to everybody’s DNA known as human leukocyte antigens locus), and should they potentially match three, they would proceed to look at matching five.
Higher level of testing
But, in a new development, NGO The Sunflower Fund has teamed up with the Centre for Proteomic and Genomic Research (CPGR) to speed up the testing process for donor blood and to do so more cheaply.
Alana James, the Fund’s CEO, said: “At the moment, the Sunflower Fund pays R2 500 for a 3 loci test. CPGR have managed, with all the negotiations in place, to currently bring that down to R2 100 for a 5 loci test.
“This means we’re getting a higher level of testing for a lower price and for every cost saving we do, we add that up and it equates to another donor on the registry.”
This partnership between the two non-profits cuts out the middle man – the 3 loci test – so that donors are added to the registry much quicker, and the waiting time for the patients is cut down considerably.
CPRG’s Genomic Manager, Lindsay Petersen, told Health24 that using this method of testing cuts down on an incredible amount of time. “We are the first to be doing this in the country and our registry is going to be on par with other international registries.
Lower cost
“Even though the test is being used overseas, some registries in other countries are not making use of it yet and continue to only test at 3 loci. This means that our database may end up being better than some of the other databases internationally,” says Petersen.
The change in testing method makes all the difference in this instance.
James Ross, CPGR’s bioinformatics analyst, said: “The difference between looking at 3 and 5 loci is due to an advancement in technology that’s available. We used to look at big blocks of DNA or looking at chemicals in the blood, and this meant we couldn’t go very deep into exactly what your certain type is. With the new technology acquired – next-generation sequencing (NGS) – we’re able to go deep.
“There are 11 loci and we can look at 5 of them, and this is for a relatively low cost, we’re able to get a much higher resolution and match people more accurately than what we could match before. We don’t need to have a perfect match on all 11, even though, theoretically, you could find someone who matches on all 11. You just need to match quite closely to fool the immune system into accepting the other person’s stem cells.
Growing the registry
“So, we test at 5 loci, which already gives a really good match, and then you’ve already got a chance that this person might work and then we do some additional testing. This narrows down the field we’re looking at which helps tremendously.”
When looking at the amount of time saved on running tests for bone marrow donors, making use of NGS allows to cut time down from months to weeks.
NGS Platform Manager, Nicki Adams, said: “The other benefit of using the latest method of testing is that instead of only looking at one person, one gene at a time or one area, you’re able to look at all 5 loci of up to 192 people in one run.”
The two organisations hope the difference in the testing method would grow the registry in leaps and bounds. Traci Sassenberg, Head of Marketing and Communications, said: “We hope we’re able to recruit a great number of donors. If Germany can build a registry of 8 million donors, surely we should be able to increase our numbers from 74 000 rapidly.”
