Gauteng Health budget under pressure as population grows
The department undertook urgent electrical infrastructure repairs at Steve Biko Hospital on Saturday
The Gauteng Department of Health has expressed concerns over its yearly budget allocation falling short due to population growth and increased demand for services. The department has undertaken urgent electrical infrastructure repairs at the Steve Biko Academic Hospital on Saturday, but the issue remains with the Premier for resolution.
The switchovers that were old and impacted services during power outages have been replaced, according to the department's spokesperson, Steve Mabona. Six theatres, wards, critical care units, and other facilities were temporarily affected by the electricity disruption.
