Our response…<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Mount St.\u00a0 John\u2019s Medical Centre’s top priority has always been our employees. We remain grateful for the restraint shown despite the delays with payment.<\/p>
\"\"<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Due to the enormity of the financial obligations, outstanding risk payment was being made in tranches. However, due to the devastating impact of COVID-19 on our resources we were forced to place these payments on hold in May 2020. We had to make some tough choices. As a hospital we cannot use the all-or-none approach because of the dynamics of our operations. We are in the middle of an unprecedented crisis and so some of our recent decisions (incentive-pay to frontline staff) will reflect this. This in no way means we are minimizing our obligations to our employees, instead we are constantly evaluating our options for how we can meet these financial obligations, despite all we’re going through.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

Our employees are the heart and soul of our organization and without them, we cannot fulfill our mission of making our communities healthier. MSJMC is committed to working with the respective stakeholders with the view of resolving this matter at the earliest opportunity.<\/p><\/div>\n
