Due to construction work that started at Cape Gate Mediclinic last week, clients as of 15 August may access the hospital’s Emergency Centre via the main entrance, which will be open 24/7.
The ambulance entrance however remains open and able to receive emergency services.The long awaited expansion project at the hospital is particularly focused on enhancing the emergency centre to allow the hospital to meet the growing demands of its surrounding communities.
In addition to the Emergency Centre upgrade, which is currently in Phase 1, other areas affected include some doctors’ rooms on the second floor.
“We have been actively relocating our doctors to accommodate the future additional medical ward. We anticipate that all doctors will be settled into their new rooms by 1 September, after which we will commence the planning for the additional medical ward,” a spokesperson of the hospital told TygerBurger on Monday.
“This significant development is part of our ongoing commitment to providing high-quality healthcare services. These additions aim to elevate the quality and range of emergency healthcare available to those within the northern suburbs of Cape Town,” says a spokesperson of Mediclinic Cape Gate. During the construction period that will extend into 2025 there may be some temporary inconveniences, such as the changed access points for the emergency centre and potential increased noise levels in affected areas of the hospital.
“We would like to thank our community for their understanding during this period, as our facility moves forward to meet the needs of our community,” says the spokesperson.
