The rest of the health facilities in the province will still feel the impact of rolling blackouts.
Earlier in the week the national Department of Health announced that 72 hospitals across the country were excluded from load shedding.The department wants 212 priority hospitals in the country to be considered for around the clock electricity supply. Northern Cape health spokesperson, Lebogang Majaha says, “For us, it is work in progress although only one facility has been considered, which is the tertiary hospital in Kimberley under the Sol Plaatje Local Municipality. We want to reaffirm our commitment in working closely with them, in finding a lasting solution because they have already committed to prioritise the Northern Cape as a matter of urgency in line with a commitment to ensure that no province is left behind,” said Majaha.
