Netcare is looking to sell or close its Bougainville Hospital in Pretoria as the business environment “renders the hospital uneconomical”.

Netcare regional director Johan Smal said unless a suitable buyer was found the hospital would close its doors on April 30.

“The hospital’s underperformance has prevailed from before Covid-19 and this was worsened by the adverse effects of the pandemic in the past 24 months. These, and other circumstances, have made it uneconomical to retain Netcare Bougainville Hospital. Sydney Masalla, general manager of the hospital, said there were only three resident specialists at the hospital who also work at other facilities.
