Today, 16 April 2019, Western Cape Minister of Health, Dr Nomafrench Mbombo will launch the R80 million upgrades to Victoria Hospital in Wynberg through a ceremonial sod turning event

This sod turning marks the start of the construction of a new Emergency Centre (EC) set to be completed in November 2020.

R80 million of the total of R1.2 billion earmarked for infrastructure investment this year, will be spent on the construction of a brand new EC for this hospital.

The Victoria Hospital Emergency Centre can no longer accommodate the growing population it serves, and that is why a new fit for purpose facility be constructed as soon as possible. The hospital treats on average 3000 patients per month from areas in the southern suburbs for minor and major injuries and illnesses,
