The Premier also noted that the opening of the hospital has brought many spin offs to the province and it has made a dent in unemployment statistics in Limpopo. “This facility has made a huge contribution to the economic climb in the province and we welcome this hospital as an addition to the health care system in Limpopo,” he said.
