Western Cape Health MEC – Nomafrench Mbombo has officially reopened the renovated state-of-the-art Swartland Hospital in Malmesbury.
In March 2017, about 70% of the healthcare facility was demolished by fire.
The fire blaze swallowed up the entire emergency centre, rehab wards, a theatre, the kitchen, linen store, and different offices, among other areas.
Residents of Swartland will no longer have to go all the way to Paarl and Westfleur Hospital for healthcare benefits.
Mbombo’s spokesperson Nomawethu Sbukwana:
“The reconstruction process started in 2018, with renovations being done in phases and now concluded at a cost of almost R120 million. The following has been restored and is already in use: the 24-bed prefab wards, emergency centre, admin building, the reception, dental clinic, and the kitchen and the linen room.”
