The focus is on replacing and refurbishing boilers, lifts, laundries, chillers, autoclaves, electrical reticulation, and change-over switches of generators”.
The new laundry equipment will also service other clinics and hospitals in the region including the soon to be completed Jabulani District Hospital.
