Brackengate lies just off the R300 highway in Cape Town, amid ultra-modern distribution centres for some of the retail sector’s biggest names.“Our Brackengate temporary hospital accepted its first patients today, making it the province’s third field hospital to open. The field hospital is rated as an “intermediate care facility” – which caters for people who cannot take care of themselves at their homes, but do not need full hospital treatment, including oxygen.
“We wish all of those who enter through its doors well, as they recover. We also extend our thanks to the many people including Health [MEC] Nomafrench Mbombo and [MEC] of Transport and Public Works Bonginkosi Madikizela, to the officials and the healthcare workers who have ensured that we have been able to provide healthcare services to the people of the Western Cape, with just a short time to prepare,” Winde said.
