Plan to improve Bronkhorstspruit Hospital
A lot was expected to improve at Bronkhorstspruit Hospital before the current financial year ended, including the opening of two more theatres.
MEC for Health Dr Bandile Masuku said the provincial government was also pushing to have a “kangaroo mother care unit” opened as the existing one was not functional.
He was speaking subsequent to his interaction with hospital management and staff during an unannounced visit yesterday.
The visit, he said, formed part of the commitment of the sixth provincial administration to improve patient experience at various healthcare facilities.
The visit also helped with giving moral support to the staff and affirm that the department appreciated their efforts, he said.
“We normally engage in weekly unannounced visits to all our facilities on Wednesdays, they are part of our effort to do evaluation and monitoring of our services.”
Masuku said he was optimistic many things would improve under new chief executive Phumzile Edisia Nkumane, appointed three months ago. In terms of infrastructure, he said all was in order except for a ceiling that needed to be replaced.
