A R30m Department of Transport and Public Works project to add a day clinic to the Laingsburg Hospital and improve the hospital is expected to be complete in February 2021.
The hospital and clinic will share a new entrance. Minor alterations to the original entrance of the hospital have been made to better facilitate emergency arrivals. The inside space of the hospital is being repurposed to include a new waiting area, records room, reception, and ablutions.
The project is providing short term local labour employment opportunities to 276 people – 232 men and 44 women.
