The Department of Health Spokesperson, Tebogo Lekgethwane, and MEC Support, Khuthala Tshangela, collaborated with MEC Madoda Sambatha in launching these initiatives, demonstrating their commitment to improving the healthcare system at Joe Morolong Hospital.

Enhanced Healthcare Experience

These projects signify a broader vision for improving healthcare services in the region. With a reliable water supply and better accommodations for healthcare professionals, Joe Morolong Hospital is poised to offer improved efficiency and enhanced services to its patients. This progress will contribute to a more robust healthcare infrastructure and a healthier future for the community.
