SIU to investigate HPCSA misconduct─── 08:49 Sat, 18 May 2019
The Special Investigative Unit will probe improper conduct by employees of the Health Professions Council of South Africa (HPCSA).
It's alleged council employees may have taken bribes in exchange for medical registrations and board exam passes.
HPCSA CEO Dr Raymond Billa said, "the HPCSA is a credible organisation with stringent measures to make sure we're releasing capable and committed practitioners into the public domain."
Billa stated he wanted to assure the public that the systems in place are effective and the majority of practitioners are registered and valid medical personnel.
