# ActionSA says the National Prosecuting Authority’s decision to prosecute individuals implicated in the Life Esidimeni tragedy must mark the beginning of accountability. The tragedy claimed the lives of at least 141 patients between 2015 and 2016, after they were transferred from licensed facilities to unregistered and ill-equipped non-governmental organisations. ActionSA says South Africans deserve a healthcare system that protects the most vulnerable, not one that exposes them to harm through negligence and mismanagement.
