SOWETO - The 12th of June marks international Nurses Day and South Africa marked the day with a commemoration event at Christ Hani Baragwaneth Hospital in Soweto.
One of the major challenges facing the health sector is a shortage of staff.
Health Minister Joe Phaahla admits that nurses are under pressure, he says most health facilities are coping but there are more specialists needed.
He says the biggest constraint is the budget for more people to be employed.
