109. For example, the South African Human Rights Commission is empowered to hear and investigate complaints related to health and health care. One complaint about violations of the right to privacy of patients attending an abortion service at a large teaching hospital in Cape Town led, through the investigation, to remedial action in the form of further value clarification workshops for staff involved. A second complaint following the death of an infant from diarrhoea at a rural hospital prompted an investigation that identified staffing organization as a contributory cause and led to restructuring of call arrangements to prevent future recurrence (personal communication, Mr. Ashraf Mohamed, SAHRC, July 2005). The more famous case of Mr. Soobramoney involved a claim to the Constitutional Court based on the right to life and the right to emergency treatment for patients who required kidney dialysis. Because his private health insurance had been depleted, he turned to the public health care system. Jurisprudence on this case remains an important national and global precedent for thinking about how to realize the right to health. C.
