Charlotte Maxeke hospital repairs still unfinished five years after the fire; Public Protector wants answers
EWN reported on 8 October that repairs to the Charlotte Maxeke Johannesburg Academic Hospital are still under way more than five years after a major fire in 2021, and that the Public Protector is demanding clarity on the delays. DailyDrop did not verify spending figures.
It is a major academic hospital for Gauteng, and long delays reduce capacity.
If you use Gauteng public hospitals, services may remain stretched.
Single source. Watch for the Public Protector's report.
