R500m West Rand Covid hospital faces uncertainty as 20 staff members set to leave

The provincial government invested R460 million in the AngloGold Ashanti Hospital in Carletonville on the West Rand after it was identified as a Covid-19 critical care facility. It was handed over to the health department on May 14.

“The hospital was supposed to have 181 intensive care unit beds to treat Covid-19 patients. However, only 56 beds can be occupied by patients who do not require ICU management,” Mokgethi said. “Currently, there is no bed space that is well resourced to treat patients who require ICU management. There are also eight wards with a total of 125 beds that have not been completed because contractors have not yet finished their work,” Mokgethi said.Bloom, the DA spokesperson on health in Gauteng, said the department had spent about R6 million on staff for this hospital.

He said the Special Investigating Unit was probing corruption as the refurbishment bill had allegedly escalated to more than R500 million.

Poor governance has resulted in the spending of half a billion Rand on a incomplete hospital that doesn't even belong to government. The Premier must be held accountable. Only options are to repurpose it for uses other than treating Covid patients or writing it off. What a waste.

Corruption

Don't hand it over to the government!!

I know we all probably must have heard about Bitcoin but don't know how it works, I tried it in a week ago by a man who recommended me to cynthia_neliwe on Twitter She guides me through and i made a return of R15500 after a week of trading, connect with her
