Gauteng hospitals need water resilience
18 September 2023
The water cuts that have again affected the Helen Joseph and Rahima Moosa Hospitals highlight the urgent need for water resilience measures at Gauteng public hospitals.
Hospitals should never run out of water as it shoots up the risk of infection and disease.
It is also very distressing for patients, and surgery backlogs rise when operations are cancelled.
With the latest water cuts, the toilets became smelly, and relatives had to bring in water when visiting their loved ones.
