No funds to fully staff Anglo Ashanti hospital for covid cases
8 June 2021
The Anglo Ashanti Hospital in the Far West Rand has been refurbished at a cost of R474 million, but there is no budget to fully staff its 175 beds for Covid-19 cases.
This information was disclosed today by Gauteng Health MEC Nomathemba Mokgethi in an oral reply to my questions at a sitting of the Gauteng Legislature.
Mokgethi said that there was no approved organogram for the hospital, and the staffing depended on the availability of budget.
The hospital building was donated by AngloGold Ashanti, but the provincial government has not yet taken ownership.
