Pat on back for Tshilidzini staff

Hardworking staff members at Tshilidzini Hospital received a pat on the back when they were given awards.

This was during the hospital's recent annual service excellence awards that took place at the hospital's hall, when 25 individuals and 21 teams at the hospital went home with silver, gold and platinum awards.

The hospital's CEO,  Mr Mpho Mufamadi, said the hospital had come up with the awards as a way of motivating staff and instilling a sense of competition among all staff members to better services at the hospital. He said said this had paid dividends as there was a great improvement in the dispensation of service and the boosting of morale among staff.

The guest speaker, Dr Jibuwo Ndou, said that members of the management of the Department of Health were excited to see the hospital determined to see excellence in practice. “Excellence is a habit in an individual, a continuous performance, which is excellent. Let us all emulate and copy the good work by the awardees."

Ms Phathutshedzo Mulaudzi, who won a platinum award as the best administrative clerk, said that she was very motivated. “We are very appreciative of the motivation the hospital is doing by introducing such awards. We have a duty as public servants to dispense service to our communities, and we do this not for the awards but as part of our mandate."
