Gauteng ramps up healthcare facility upgrades as it prepares for the National Health Insurance (NHI) rollout by 2025.
| Published 35m agoThe Gauteng Department of Health announced that it is making considerable progress in preparing its healthcare facilities for the National Health Insurance rollout, actively improving its healthcare infrastructure to match the NHI requirements, assuring that patients throughout the province will soon have access to better healthcare services.
A further 263 of the 349 primary health care clinics have been approved for compliance. This represents substantial progress in ensuring Gauteng's healthcare system is"NHI-ready“, the department said in a statement. This effort will reduce long-distance travel for patients while relieving pressure on congested public hospitals, ultimately enhancing healthcare access for all provincial inhabitants.
Recent initiatives include the refurbishment and expansion of Helen Joseph Hospital's Accident and Emergency units, as well as the Bertha Gxowa Mental Health Unit.
