Tembisa Hospital is an accredited general and specialised hospital in the province of Gauteng. The hospital renders services to Tembisa township which has a population of about 2.5 million people, as well as surrounding areas in Johannesburg, Ekurhuleni, and Tshwane.

The visit follows reports of overspending by the hospital and alleged hijacking of the procurement processes and subsequent suspension of the Chief Executive Office in 2022. In addition, in December 2022, a video circulated on social media showed a half-naked patient sleeping on the floor at the hospital.

In December 2022, the Commission was advised that the hospital had a shortage of staff members, overcrowding problems, and an aging and dilapidated infrastructure.

The visit will take place as follows:
