Health Minister to assess flood-hit hospital

Health Minister Dr Aaron Motsoaledi will visit the General De La Rey Hospital in Lichtenburg on Tuesday to assess the extent of the damage to the hospital.

This follows reports of the flooding of three hospitals in the North West province.

The Minister will be accompanied by the provincial MEC for Health, Sello Lehari, and a technical team from the national head office, including engineers, to assess the damage and develop an intervention plan.

“In response to reports of the flooding of three hospitals in the North West province, Health Minister Dr Aaron Motsoaledi will [on Tuesday] visit General De La Rey Hospital in Lichtenburg, Ditsobotla Municipality, to see for himself the state of the situation. 

“This hospital is apparently the most affected, thus necessitating the presence of the Minister. What is most worrisome to the Minister is the report that some of the patients have already been transferred to other hospitals,” said the Department of Health in a statement. – SAnews.gov.za
