Building of a new Tambo Memorial Hospital on the cards
The Gauteng Department of Health intends to build a new Tambo Memorial Hospital to replace the fast ageing 105 years old existing building.
Gauteng Heath MEC Qedani Mahlangu broke the news to reporters during a press conference on the fire that recently gutted a storage facility at the hospital.
She said her department will try and speed-up the process to construct the new hospital buildings, because they are unable to rehabilitate the existing ones.
She added that replacing the current structure will be cost-effective and cheaper than maintaining the existing facility.
It is, however, at this stage unclear as to where the new high-tech facility will be located, and what will happen to the existing building.
