The Gauteng Department of Health and Social Development has noted with concern the media statement about the alleged halting of the all non-urgent surgeries at Rahima Moosa Mother and Child Hospital in Westbury.
The department would like to emphasise that these reports are unfounded and misleading and that no surgeries have been cancelled at the hospital. All theatres at the hospital are in full operation and there is steam to sterilise instruments.
The hospital experienced a problem with leaking pipes and the Department of Infrastructure has undertaken that it will send a contractor to fix the problem.
The department would further like to point out that this did not in any way affect operations and service delivery at the hospital.
