The Gauteng Department of Health says it is probing the allegations of non-functional medical equipment, poor infrastructure and negligence made by broadcaster Tom London against the Helen Joseph Hospital.
This comes after London posted a video on social media on Saturday complaining about the bad treatment he received from the hospital.
Hundreds of his fans contributed to have him moved to a private hospital within hours of the post going viral.
In the video, while in the hospital ward, he bemoaned the bad treatment from most of the doctors, alleging that patients are treated like cockroaches.
London developed a chest infection about five weeks ago and was using over-the-counter-medication. He was then rushed to the Helen Joseph hospital which he described as a circus.
