An ambitious plan for a new central hospital in Cape Town was announced during the recent Hospital Association of South Africa’s annual conference (HASA2023).
Thorpe Koorts, infrastructure director for the Western Cape Government , says the new facility will be strategically located alongside the existing Tygerberg Hospital. The project forms part of a broader initiative to create three new hospitals in the Western Cape., the other two facilities will be built along the Klipfontein Corridor near the former GF Jooste Hospital site and in Belhar, opposite the UWC Campus.
Located on 18 hectares of land to the west of Tygerberg Hospital, the facility will host between 600 and 900 beds. Tygerberg will remain operational during the construction process. Due to this, Koorts says it was decided to redirect the maintenance budget towards partnering with a private entity to fund and construct the new hospital. The allocated funds will be used for unitary payments following a financially feasible model.
‘The aim is to complete these two hospitals, the Central Hospital and the new Belhar Hospital, in close proximity to streamline the transition process,’ says Koorts. ‘The reason behind restructuring services is to focus on pure academic services, given the presence of three higher learning institutions on-site: Stellenbosch University Medical School, UWC, and CPUT.’
