Gauteng Health and Wellness MEC Nomantu Nkomo-Ralehoko conducted an oversight visit for service delivery in the Tshwane Health District, which includes the Steve Biko Academic Hospital, Tshwane District Hospital, and Pretoria West Hospital.
Oversight refers to the systematic monitoring, supervision, and guidance that ensures accountability, transparency, compliance with regulations and standards, effective management, and risk mitigation.
During the visits, it emerged that the three hospitals are generally improving in service delivery, with a significant reduction in the backlog of surgeries.
“More budget will be requested to be able to improve in areas of appointing new staff, with the aim of providing even more efficient and quality service to our people,” said MEC Nomantu Nkomo-Ralehoko.
The MEC has pledged that any future infrastructure improvements in these facilities will match the specifications of the Mamelodi Hospital, demonstrating a commitment to quality infrastructure and service delivery.
