The South African Human Rights Commission Gauteng provincial office (GPO) will visit Charlotte Maxeke Johannesburg Academic Hospital, on 13 October 2022.
Charlotte Maxeke Johannesburg Academic Hospital is a large central accredited general hospital in the province of Gauteng, that also serves as a referral hospital for a number of hospitals in the republic.
The visit follows from the Commissions visit in June 2021 following a fire that broke out on 16 April 2021, destroying parts of the hospital, medical goods worth R40 million, as well as a large amount of personal protective equipment.
The visit to the hospital seeks to assess the extent of the progress made by the contractors in remedying the situation.
