Despite strategies to accelerate the repairs to and refurbishing of Charlotte Maxeke Johannesburg Academic Hospital, the process is still being hampered by crime.

He said after the fire that led to the closure of the hospital in April last year, there had been much unhappiness and confusion on the way forward.

The project was officially handed over on March 4 and the Development Bank of Southern Africa was appointed as the implementing agent. Other donor agencies also came forward, with the Solidarity Fund and Gift of the Givers taking over parts of the upgrade work. “It has been disheartening to note that between the time that patients were evacuated and the time when contractors were brought in to start working, a number of installations like railings were all ripped out for scrap metal. The CAT scan machine that is used in cases of accident and trauma where there are [suspected] head and spine injuries ... has been vandalised. The central processing unit was ripped out and parts from inside were removed,” Phaahla said.

Initial projections, he said, were that the entire revamp of the hospital would be completed only in 2027, but the new completion date was now December 2023. Block two of the hospital is expected to be completed by July 2023, block 3 in October 2023, block 4 in November 2023 and block 5 in December of that year.
