The National Health Laboratory Service (NHLS) said it was doing everything they can after it suffered a cyber security breach .
The breach occurred on Saturday, June 22.
It said it will continue to implement alternative strategies and measures to ensure business continuity.
NHLS CEO, Professor Koleka Mlisana said on the service delivery (testing) side, all laboratories are functioning, although providing test results to the clinicians remains a challenge.
Under normal circumstances, the laboratory reports are automatically generated and sent to clinicians or made available on WebView, this incident has disabled that functionality. However, all urgent results are communicated telephonically to requesting clinicians, Mlisana said.
