8 April 2025- The North West MEC for Health, Sello Lehari today handed over water reticulation and medical gas projects to contractors at the Job Shimankane Tabane (JST) hospital in Rustenburg.
Lehari said the two projects expected to start on 22 April 2025, were initiated following the “Re bona ka Matlho” campaign, which is an initiative to conduct oversight at health facilities across the province and intervene, where there are challenges.
“We welcome the appointment of the contractors and commencement of the projects. I was made aware of the challenges at JST Hospital during my visit to the facility in December 2024, and immediately requested the departmental management to avail funds to kickstart projects to address the challenges.
“The water project will involve the installation of a dedicated line to increase storage capacity in the hospital while the latter is a medical gas refurbishment project for the neonatal ward,” he said.
