    Media Advisory: SAHRC Gauteng Provincial Office will visit Charlotte Maxeke Johannesburg Academic Hospital on 15 August 2023

    Attention: Editors and Reporters

    15 August 2023

    The South African Human Rights Commission Gauteng provincial office will visit Charlotte Maxeke Johannesburg Academic Hospital (CMJAH) on 15 August 2023.

    The hospital is an accredited central hospital which serves patients from across the Gauteng province as well as neighbouring provinces. Charlotte Maxeke Academic Hospital offers a full range of tertiary, secondary and highly specialised services.

     The visit follows the Commissions visits in 2021 and 2022 after a fire 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 in rebuilding the sections of the hospital affected by the fire. In addition, the Commission wants to assess the effect the reconstruction has had on the patient care.

    The details of the meeting are as follows:
