DA Gauteng Provincial Leader, John Moodey MPL, and DA Shadow MEC for Social Development, Refiloe Ntsekhe MPL, will lead a picket in front of the closed Kempton Park Hospital on Thursday.
Kempton Park Hospital has been closed since 1996 which means patients in the area have to rely on Tembisa Hospital for medical care. This has resulted in increased pressure on Tembisa Hospital, which has to serve a number of surrounding communities.
The DA will be calling on the Gauteng Health Department to re-open the hospital so that the Kempton Park community can receive the quality healthcare they deserve.
The DA will be at the hospital from 10am.
