NATIONAL Health Department spokesperson Fidel Hadebe says the biggest problem facing public hospitals during the strike is the intimidation of patients and non-striking workers.
Hadebe says the key issue is now to beef up security - with more police being deployed at the hospitals.
Department of state security spokesperson Brian Dube says national and provincial joint operation centres will co-ordinate the collection of information and its assessment for the deployment of security forces in affected areas.
